Is indeed a very bad idea, and should only be given out when working with your support desk.  Our IT group can and does give out temporary passwords if necessary.  In fact our company recommends that you change your passwords every six months or more, and every password sensitive application use a different password. (Talk about information security!)



It seems a shame, but think about it...we had an incident in an office where somebody left their email signed on, and somebody came along and sent out a very damning email to a manager with that persons logon!  And in another company, we traced someone embezzling funds by tracking their logon and password.  And you never know what unscrupulous people will do get what they want!
