"Who knows why someone would divulge their password. I bet there are reasons other than being completely devoid of common sense."

You need a job and are given to believe that you won't get the one you're interviewing for if you don't hand over your password.

People regularly do all kinds of demeaning things because employers ask/demand them to.

Last time I checked, people need a place to sleep and food to eat.

You need a job to pay for those things.
