Yeah, there were two IT techs at one company who routinely asked for user passwords, in part because some of the software we used require setup in the user account. I'd say no, but I was on a few reply all emails where others provided their password to everyone on the email.
I forwarded those emails after the IT manager after the company email server got blacklisted by a client for our emails being used as an attack vector to phish.
