I would politely but firmly decline to provide my email password. I understand the importance of maintaining confidentiality and protecting sensitive information. However, I'm happy to discuss my email practices, such as how I organize my inbox or handle confidential communications. My priority is maintaining trust and acting with integrity in all professional matters.
How would you respond in an interview, when asked for the password of your email ID?
- Thread starter You
- Start date
I will take a while, look at the person who is asking me that question and then say
You must be joking. Right?

I would just tell the person plainly that private keys and passwords are personal and not to be shared with anyone. Why would someone even think of asking you for that? How is it related to the job or the interview?
That is a very dumb thing for an interviewer to do. I would politely tell him or her that I have so many personal details in my email which others shouldn't see.
I find it questionable. I have to refuse politely since a dependable client should never request your email password or other sensitive information.
Correct, how come a password is asked during the interview. It's so improper. I will ask why the person asks.
I would politely tell them that it is not safe to share passwords of emails with anyone. That is all.
