The Password Problem

You're working on a final assignment at school and your partner is absent and is not responding to your panicked messages. The project is due today, and the work is on their cloud drive. You are stressed because your professor has a strict rule about deadlines.

One of your classmates says, “I know their password. You could just log in to their account and grab the file from their drive.” This sounds like a simple solution and you’re tempted to try, but logging in to someone else’s account without permission is a serious violation of school policy.

What do you do?

Log in with the shared password and submit the project on time.
Turn the option down and wait for your partner to contact you.
