They may ask the Facebook and they will ask the Password. Why the HR people password means by seeing your profile they may understand your attitude and your culture, that is it. If they are forcing you for the password, tell them that I can't give it to you.

Hi,
Your Facebook profile is your personal profile. I think you should never share your password with your HR.

Asking for a Facebook ID is okay, but asking for a password is unacceptable. It is like someone asking for your ATM PIN. I do not think any employer has the right to ask for someone's personal ID password, and the employee has every right to deny it. If it is a corporate page Facebook ID/password you have to give it; otherwise, don't bother.

under no circumstances, password of anything of personal nature must be shared with any one incl. employer. Will you share your ATM or internet password for your bank account? Thanks, Kuldeep

Hi,
Everyone deserves privacy. A password/ID is exclusively a personal identity that should remain out of bounds for everyone, be it the employer or anyone else. Otherwise, you will be allowing the employer entry into your personal self, no matter how far you may not know initially.

The practice of asking for a Facebook password is wrong. You should refuse to give it and, in fact, reconsider whether you should join such a company. Facebook has already issued statements in the USA, (in court, believe) that the practice is unacceptable and unfair labor practice. Furthermore, they have stated that giving your Facebook password is an offense under the Facebook user terms (we all signed it when opening a Facebook account) as it allows someone to pretend to be you (masquerade). It is an offense under most country laws to use a fake name to engage in online activity (as distinct from a screen name/avatar). It can actually lead to criminal liability both for the user and the HR manager concerned under the Information Technology Act of 2000.

Hello Gurgaon HR,
This is a very intriguing posting. Taking it lightly, the converse is very popular. Those working in the same office become Husband and Wife!!
Let us now come to the serious part. The serious part comes after marriage (as always!!!). A greater understanding and adjustment is required if they continue to work in the same organization. For trivial matters also, people would point out the relationship as the reason. Added to the family pressures at home circling around Children, Kith & Kin, and relatives, there could be a backlash in the office/home. It may not be uncommon for the spouse to get pressure through the better half in official matters. These have to be carefully handled. The sacred relationship may also be attributed as a reason at times, and it might overlook genuine merit.
