What does your security department and/or auditors say about doing this?

You don't say what kind of accounts you are logging onto, but if I had
to guess I would guess that they are application accounts.

Wouldn't be better to use the password of the account?

And if you are not allowed to have the password, I guess you're
not allowed to make changes.
