risk assessment...
and company policy..

if you send someone a "short" term pswd (1 day)
then monitor activity of that access...
and then change that pswd before you leave for the day..
then the risk is minimized..

we do that for consultants and outside vendors
that need to get into their software or data files..
send them a short term pswd, never for more than
1 work day (that means it gets changed at 5pm)

its like your desktop workstation.. never go away
and leave it "un monitored"

otherwise.. an email with a callback number to
get the password by voice is the only way to go..

even excel documents encrypted with passwords
can be captured and hacked with purchased utilities.
