On what? A phone or laptop? They should provide the device, if so.

As long as they are providing the hardware and I'm not forced to carry it around during personal time, I don't see a problem with it; I just wouldn't log into my personal accounts with it, and maintain separate personal hardware.

I completely agree. They can put whatever they want on a work phone that I don't need to take with me without it being an explicit part of the job. I very much mind on a personal device.
