Does anyone else ever get so distracted/tired/pent up with other shit going on that they become a liability?

Today, on a phone call to get support over getting locked out of our Apple Developer Program account, the call centre agent asked if we had the password.

I immediately replied "Sure! It's **begins saying actual password allowed over the phone**

    PS. Lead dev, other devs, and company director were present. I was immediately shouted down by the lead dev. Fortunately the whole office is chill as fuck.

    @beningreenjam And stored hashed? Definitelly not plaintext? Impossible to ever recover the actual password by anyone?

    @netikras it's a shared password vault across the company. The entire vault is encrypted at rest and the user is signed out after a minute of inactivity.

    But I can't say I've ever given out passwords accidentally!
