Should I give my ID/me password to an employer?

Okay, so you’re wondering about giving your ID.me password to your employer, huh? Let me tell you, NO WAY! Seriously, don’t even think about it.

Should you REALLY give your ID.me password to your employer?

The answer is a resounding NO. Sharing your ID.me password with anyone, especially your employer, is a HUGE red flag. It’s like handing over the keys to your personal kingdom! Think about it – ID.me is often linked to sensitive stuff like your veteran status, healthcare information, and even financial details. You wouldn’t give a stranger access to all that, would you?

And honestly, if a company is even asking for your ID.me password, that’s a major sign of a toxic work environment. It screams a lack of respect for your privacy and sets a dangerous precedent. I mean, what else are they going to ask for down the line? My gut feeling says, avoid these companies like the plague. Trust me, there are plenty of other employers out there who respect your boundaries and understand the importance of data security.

I remember one time, a friend of mine was asked to share her social media passwords with a potential employer. She felt super uncomfortable, and rightfully so! She ended up walking away from the job offer, and honestly, it was the best decision she ever made. Your personal information is yours and yours alone. Don’t let anyone, especially an employer, pressure you into compromising your privacy.
