I believe that when it comes to passwords, it would be best for administrators to provide passwords for their employees since most employees tend to use common words or easy to guess phrases which are often publicly shared on social networks (birthdays, pets’ names etc). Changing passwords on a regular basis offers an extra layer of protection.

Kinda makes you think about exactly how equal the responsibility a CEO and a high-level admin have in terms of protecting their company’s reputation.
