				  confidentiality of any password or PIN, shall immediately notify the
				  Authority.
(e) No person shall
				  knowingly permit or cause to permit his or her password or PIN to be utilized
				  by anyone other than an authorized employee or agent. If a web filer authorizes
				  another person to file a document on his or her behalf using the user name,
				  password or PIN of the web filer, such web filer shall retain full
				  responsibility for any document filed.
