Definitely a social engineering attack. The manager should know better than to ask for login credentials via email. Maybe they need a refresher on security best practices.

Haha, the manager must have lost his login info and is trying to get John's. Nice try, but John is too smart for that!

I'm not sure. It could also be a Trojan horse attack if the manager's email is compromised. Better to be safe and not click any links or attachments in the email.

It's always best to be cautious when it comes to sharing login information, you never know who might be trying to access it.

This is clearly a social engineering attack. The manager is trying to trick John into revealing his login credentials, which is a classic social engineering tactic.
