Bozeman Requires Applcants' Intimate Passwords

The city of Bozeman, MT now presents job applicants with a signature-required disclosure form for their login credentials, including passwords, to "any and all, current personal or business websites, web pages or
memberships on any Internet-based chat rooms, social clubs or forums,
to include, but not limited to: Facebook, Google, Yahoo, YouTube.com,
MySpace, etc[.]" 

 This is Montana.  You can have my brilliantly unmemorable personal passwords when you pry them from my cold, dead neurons.

Looks like they're changing the form. I can understand asking for the social network information but asking for passwords is just unacceptable.

How can people not realize that asking for a password is extremely inappropriate and often offensive? It's on par with asking how much you make, or your medical history, or the details of last nights sex with your wife.

It's just Ridiculous.
