Death of B is of no consequence since A is being proceeded against for negligence in password.

Yes A has violated the Information System Security guidelines by sharing his password to another employee and hence irrespective of the fact that B is alive or not A has to face the music of disciplinary proceedings.

There are hell lot of similar cases pending against bank employees. Of which, many emanated due to sheer ignorance about the consequences of such security lapses or trust reposed on colleagues to carry out tasks due to work pressures.
