You and your spouse are IU employees. Your spouse is having trouble logging into a system that stores PHI. He asks to use your login information so he can quickly update a health record. A timing lapse would have a detrimental impact on his work. You will both watch as he walks through the steps of logging in and logging out, and you are both willing to sign any acknowledgment that might be required under HIPAA. He already knows your user name and password because you have it written down at home. You both believe there is no foreseeable harm that could come from this approach.

May you, under any circumstances, share your user name and passphrase?

A$.$ Yes. You can apply best judgment as to whether there is risk of harm. Here, the circumstances, taken as a whole, suggest that no risk exists.

B$.$ No$.$ Sharing your login name and password violates IU policy and HIPAA.
