It is acceptable to share your PIN with another person as long as you trust them.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. It depends
• D. Only with supervisor approval

Answer: (B)

Credentials that prove who you are, like a PIN, must stay secret to protect your identity and access. Sharing a PIN—even with someone you trust—undermines authentication and breaks the accountability trail. Once someone else uses your secret, you can't be sure who performed actions, and you’re responsible for anything done with it. That risk is why the standard rule is clear: never share your PIN.

If someone needs access, use the proper process to grant it. Have them obtain their own credentials or have an administrator authorize access through the official channels, with appropriate logging and privileges. This keeps actions auditable and ensures only the right person can perform specific tasks.

The other options aren’t appropriate because trust does not justify sharing secrets, and relying on supervisor approval still involves sharing or bypassing standard controls. Use the established access mechanisms instead.
