Detailed explanation-1: -Due to the nature of passwords, it’s impossible to share them with guaranteed security. Once someone has your password, they could take a screenshot of it or write it down in an insecure location. If you must share passwords, only do so with people you fully trust.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sharing passwords can open your company to various unnecessary, preventable, but dangerous risks. Once a password is shared, you have no control over who uses it, where they use it, how they use it, or who they share it with. The safest choice is never to share passwords.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
Detailed explanation-4: -Ultimately, it’s best to use more secure methods, such as password managers, to share passwords with family members to minimize the risk of data breaches and identity theft.
