    People literally do this though. I work in IT and people have literally said, out loud, with people around that can hear what we’re saying clearly, this exact thing.

    I’m like… I don’t want your password. I never want your password. I barely know what my password is. I use a password manager.

    IT should never need your password. Your boss and work shouldn’t need it. I can log in as you without it most of the time. I don’t, because I couldn’t give any less of a fuck what the hell you’re doing, but I can if I need to…

    If your IT person knows what they’re doing, most of the time for routine stuff, you shouldn’t really see them working, things just get fixed.

    Gah.

      Lmao my IT guy asks for our passwords to certain things on an annual basis, stores them as plain text in a fucking email.

      First Time he did it I was like “uhh, not supposed to share that?” And he just insisted he needed it. Whatever, he wants to log in to my Autodesk account he’s free to. Not sure how much damage he could do.
