Re: changing passwords

Yep. He wasn't just asking for a service listing. He wants to know everywhere it is used and since he has an unknown state, he has no clue where it is being used even to the point of being able to narrow it down to services. The safest is to change the ID for the places where he knows it is used. Then disable the ID as I mentioned in my original post.
