In the USA, laws have been passed by many states, including Illinois
(effective 1/1/2017), that prohibit any company/employer and
'educational institution' from requesting any potential employee for
their username(s) and password(s) to any _personal_ email and social
media accounts such as FB, LinkedIn and the like. If one is curious,
here are a couple of links . . .

Privacy Social Media")

The amended Illinois law [Public Act 99-0610 (HB4999)] in part states:

(begin quote)
Summary: Amends Section 10 of the Right to Privacy in the Workplace Act
by expanding the online accounts that employers and prospective
employers are prohibited from accessing. Prohibits not only an
employer gaining access to these personal online accounts, but now
prohibits the employer from:
1. requesting, requiring or coercing any employee or prospective
employee to authenticate or access an account while the employer is present
2. require or coerce an employee to invite an employer to join a
group affiliated with the personal online account
3. require or coerce the employee to join an online account
established by the employer or add the employer to the employee’s list
of contacts in the employee’s personal account.
(end quote)

Of course, it is unwise to post and/or share anything online that
might/could come back to detrimentally haunt the author.
