It’s anecdotal, but back when I was on Reddit, I saw someone say that a prospective employer actually required your full credentials so that they could check your private information as well.
i recently looked up the Security clearance law in my country, which has 3 levels.
And only in the highest level, for social media, all they do is look at your public profile
(if i did not misread it)
(They do stuff like asking people close to you questions tho)
My boss worked at IBM before his current role. He said a former colleague of his listed him as a reference for his security clearance and he “got to meet with some men in suits with no sense of humor” as part of it.
Honestly I’ll probably never go for any jobs that require a security clearance because honestly that’s just a level of stress that I don’t need

That not only sounds illegal and shady, it would be the dumbest thing you could do.
Now somebody else has your account, uploads some Epstein material for shits and giggles and you can go to jail
That is an immediate “Nope the fuck out of there, you do NOT want to work in het place”
Small company overreach.
They probably also ask you a bunch of illegal questions in the screening
