I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but the other categories didn't seem any better.
Anyway, my employer wants to keep a record of all of the employees passwords (computer and voice mail). This is so that they can get into our computers or voice mail if we are sick or on vacation and something is needed off of the computer or telephone. I do not feel comfortable giving out my passwords to anyone; I don't have any personal information on my computer to hide, but I don't like the idea that someone can go into my computer at any time. Not only that, the passwords are being kept on a spreadsheet on the HR manager's computer so if someone really wanted to, they could have access to the passwords of the entire company. That doesn't seem very safe in my eyes.
Is there any legal documentation I can show my employer to back up my not wanting to give out my password or do I have to give it to them?
Thank you for your help. Oh, I'm in Texas if that makes any difference.
