In general: very bad idea. Why give other people the ability to impersonate you 
for bad purposes?

Probably depends on the level of trust between parties. Usually the smaller the 
group, the more intimate the relationships. As such, sharing computer passwords 
tends to become less of an issue because so many other things are also shared. 
For very intimate groups (like families) bigger problems than access to data, 
tend to arise if the trust is breached.

Subject: OT: Password sharing policy

Good morning list....

I am interested in seeing any written "password sharing" policies you have in 
place.  It seems ours is written in Latin, since no one seems to understand it.

I am going to draft a new policy, but would like to see how others handle this 
and get opinions from the list on how "big of a deal" sharing passwords is in 
other businesses.  (Personally, I think it is a BIG deal)

Thanks,

BF
