As a website maintenance company, we understand that employee turnover is a common occurrence in many organizations. When an employee leaves, it is important to take steps to ensure that their access to company accounts is revoked, including any passwords they may have used.
To manage password security when an employee leaves an organization, we recommend the following steps:
- As soon as an employee gives notice, make a list of all the accounts and systems they have access to and identify any passwords they may have used.
- Change the passwords for all of the accounts and systems that the employee had access to. This will prevent them from accessing the accounts or systems after they leave.
- If the employee had access to any shared accounts, such as social media or email accounts, change the passwords for those accounts as well.
- Revoke any access keys, tokens, or other authentication methods the employee may have used.
- Consider implementing a password policy that requires employees to change their passwords regularly and prohibits the use of weak passwords.
