while they have the right to stalk your public presence (and hence ask for your social media account id) but asking for passwords is already illegal in many nations
Discussion
The real question is would you work for a company that did that? Also I don’t even know my pin on my credit card, you want a password from when i was 21? So do i, I liked that account.
hahahahahaahahah
And there’s the kicker. Non-disclosure upon request is grounds to disqualify a candidate. Discovered accounts that are not disclosed is also grounds for disqualification during hiring process and if hired prior to discovery, termination based on “integrity” concerns due to failure to disclose.
To feed my family yes. I wish I could say absolutely not but when other people are at stake things get too easy to just ignore unfortunately.
I have yet to face such a dilemma, don’t see it on my radar either. My kids may have issues as they enter the workforce, i better teach them proper internet security.

I wish I had that wisdom 5 years ago.
I was raised on 56k internet, gizmo from Gizmos & gadgets was my first nym.
In 2012 I sat in a hotel conference room and have a guy pointed to the CCTV camera
“I am not scared of this, it's if something bad happens, they can review.” He pulled out his cell “this things will post my best friends keg stand live, & make sure Susan gets that promotion that he wants in 15 yrs”
I’ve declared bankruptcy email bankruptcy so many times. Lol.
Lol in the mid-oughts my mom came home after her first day of work back from 2 week vacation, said she deleted ~5k unread emails. “Either its been fixed, or i will be informed promptly upon my return this week”
I haven’t either but I’m giving honest self reflection. I am trying to avoid that situation all together.
I have no social media accounts.
No online pictures or presence.
Just a random pleb nym on nostr.
Long term I want to opt out with bitcoin and not have to play their reindeer games.
This is what I’m teaching mine. The art of opting out.
