Actually…I’m pretty sure its in the Facebook ToS that you can’t give your password out…making it illegal.

[Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms?ref=pf) and do a search for ‘password’

Also, if an employer asks for my FB info, the interview is over, I don’t want the job. Need to drug test me? Fine. Want character references? Awesome. Want to do a credit check? Go ahead. Full on FBI background check? Do it. Want the keys to accessing my personal life? Fuck off, its called ‘personal life’ for a reason, it is none of your business.
