WHAT IF...
I’M GOING ON VACATION. IT WOULD BE GREAT IF MY CO-WORKER RESPONDED TO ANY EMAILS THAT COME IN WHILE I’M GONE. IS IT OKAY TO LEAVE MY PASSWORD WITH HIM, AS LONG AS I RESET IT WHEN I GET BACK?
No, your password is, and should remain, private. Use an out-of-office message to alert people to your absence and direct them to a colleague for help while you’re away.
