    Firmly agree, I don’t believe he should have had access to change these password in the first place unless I’m misunderstanding their definition of test engineer, but if OP had the authority and permission to change the password in the first place, and that person deliberately changed it back to the insecure route again, management would be involved and there would some sort of reprimandment because that’s past ignorance, that’s negligence

      It was an admin account to do regression testing for the admin interface and functions before prod releases.

      I had my guys enable/disable the account during the testing pipeline so people can’t login anymore.

        Why would you have regression on prod? Or why would you care what the password is on staging environments?

        We have our lower environments (where all testing happens) on a VPN completely separated from prod, and testing engineers only ever touch those lower environments. Our Ops team manages all admin prod accounts, and those are completely separate from lower environment accounts.

        So I guess I’m struggling to understand the issue here. Surely you could keep a crappy password for pre-prod testing? We even create a copy of prod as needed and change the admin accounts if there’s something prod-specific.
