You shouldn't ask for someone's password, no matter what the context is. There should be other ways to duplicate or identify the issue, no?

Not if you're as lazy as I am.
ok let me clarify. It is really not a good idea to give your password out on the internet, even if the person says they are an employee. When I worked at a company handling user data they had strict rules around this because employees had to be accountable for what user data they looked at and how that data was handled. Someone could use your password, do something harmful, and then blame it on you. It would be hard to prove innocence.

Why would it matter what happens between two consenting adults?

I should clarify I meant with random internet people. There are security concerns. Sister comment explains
Why not? Computers do this all the time, why shouldn't humans?
Computers don't act with malicious intent.
