Detailed explanation-1: -Limit the people you share passwords with to only those who absolutely need the contact information. Make sure that you trust this person to keep the password secure as well. You don’t want to take security measures only to have someone else make your passwords accessible and hackable.
Detailed explanation-2: -When sharing your password with someone else, you risk granting that individual access to every account you own with the same password-and probably even those with similar passwords. If one of these passwords is for a social media platform, an angry colleague could change your profile picture to embarrass you.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sharing your password is a bad idea not only because it gives your friend the ability to post on your behalf, but it also gives them access to all of your personal information.
Detailed explanation-4: -Nobody needs to know them but you-not even the IT department. If someone is asking for your password, it’s a scam. Use different passwords for different accounts. That way, if one account is compromised, at least the others won’t be at risk.
