Studies about credential sharing have been done.  I remember one
done at Dartmouth where they found that 75% (I think?) of users
shared their passwords and that some were willing to reveal their
password for a candy bar.  I'm sorry I couldn't find a good
reference for you.  There's some information at
http://www.passwordresearch.com/stats/statistic239.html

There also seem to be quite a bit of other research at this site.
