A practical credential handover checklist for teams

Check the received list

Count the items and compare the account type with the order. Report missing or mismatched entries before your team begins making changes.

Move credentials into secure storage

Do not leave the only copy inside a chat app. Add the information to your controlled password or inventory system.

Assign an owner

One person or clearly named team should be responsible for each account. Ownership reduces accidental duplicate work.

Document approved changes

Record password, recovery and profile changes with a date. That makes later troubleshooting far easier.

Remove access when roles change

When somebody leaves the project, update permissions and shared access promptly rather than waiting for a problem.
