I told him that I couldn't share my password because I used it in other accounts.Īsked him if he needed something specific and offered to go to the office and type in the password directly into the computer. I told him that another coworker knew which files those were and where those files were located on the shared drive. I had wiped out my data, because of personal information, but that I had transferred important folders and files to team/shared drive. That computer was formatted right away when he left the company. In fact none of my coworkers were allowed to keep this ex-employee laptop around 'just in case I need his data'. It is a coworker and I don't have knowledge of that being done for a previous employee that left the company. This question is not a duplicate, because it's not my former boss that is requesting the password. Is this coworker out of place asking for that information? How can I professionally decline his request? Also, I might have SSN or other Personal Identification information in there (for the on-boarding process etc). I don't have anything to hide (illegal or other non work related documents), but I don't want my coworkers accessing my data. I cleaned my computer, but I didn't clean my network folder. I left the company 2 weeks ago for a new job. I worked for X company as an applications developer and one of my former coworkers (not my supervisor or an IT person) asked me for my BitLocker password.
