I know of a company that sends the username and password in separate emails. Is this some how more secure?
@northerner I mean, it's marginally better than sending them in the same email question mark?
If the credentials are for a system that's not accessible over the internet, then maybe. It's still bad practice to send password over email period.

@northerner they need to send it some way
and you can/will need to change the password immediately anyway

Splitting the credentials across two emails does add a minimal layer of security. The idea is that if someone intercepts one email, they still lack the full credentials. However, it's not a robust security practice. Email is inherently insecure for transmitting sensitive information, and it's best to use more secure methods, such as:

- **Password Managers**: Securely sharing passwords through a trusted password manager.
- **Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)**: Adding a second authentication factor to bolster security.
