Why Sharing a Work Login Can Become a Compliance Problem
A coworker needs quick access, but they don’t have an account yet. To their delight, you do have one.
Giving them your password for five minutes seems a lot easier than waiting for someone to create a new login. You know and trust the person; they only need to complete one small task, and you can always change your password afterward.
