When I sign up for an on-line service, many of them specifically require 
that I keep my password confidential from all other parties.  This user 
agreement is a binding contract.

I am wondering whether any jurisdictions permit an employer to require 
an applicant to breach a contract as a condition of employment.  That is 
probably illegal in many places.

John
