You may be as honest as George Washington, as wise as King Solomon, but as soon as you share your password with someone else, or they share theirs with you, you change the dynamic in such a way that you can be accused of having done something you didn't do.
It's like identity theft. Would you share your SSN with someone, except in cases where it is requried? Might I suggest some examples of worst case scenarios of password sharing? Sometimes language is necessary for the policy, but examples of why the policy is in place are needed.
