Would you work for a company if they wanted you Facebook password?



Employers ask job seekers for Facebook passwords

Open for discussion.

Holy moly - that's rich...

yeah...just no.

I'll admit I have Facebook Hengis, but I don't use my real name there & my profile is set to unsearchable so you can't find me without knowing my name and without finding me through friends lists.

I guess we just have to accept (whether we think it's right or wrong), that's the way things are going...

Sad really. Though if people refrained from using Facebook as their soapbox, photo album for drunken nights, etc there would be nothing to "find" there with a password

As it says in the article, it's invasion of privacy. I'm sure the EFF would like to know about this.

NakedSecurity just posted their article about this and it has everyone posting about it on NS's Facebook [ironic isn't it?]

Hand over your Facebook username and password if you want a job | Naked Security

But as NS says, change the privacy settings so your not searchable and lie about it. No one can prove otherwise

Personally I wouldn't take any job that wants my password.

I like this comment at NS

Yup like that too
