The password to your email account.

Well ... since I host my own mail server, the password to my
e-mail is the password to my account (which they could not access
remotely anyway), and there is no chance that I would give them such
information.

Nope. Facebook and other social media sites want that so they can
bring all your friends and clients on-board! Scary thought, wot?


And -- there is also no chance that I can *see* that I would
want an account on LinkedIn anyway. :-)

It's a B2B networking group, so I do.


FaceBook wants your e-mail password too -- with the excuse that
it allows them to identify your friends already on FaceBook. They don't
get *that* either. :-)

Roger, over.
