I have up voted you to cancel the down vote someone gave you. I don't agree with your comment, however. You've overlooked that in the overwhelming majority of cases, the person applying for the job is not on an equal footing with the employer. If the employer insists on having my passwords before they will continue interviewing me, and I counter that I will need to see the hiring manager's passwords before letting them interview me--he's just going to reject me and go to the next candidate.
