Abstract

A system receives a first request to replace a first credential used by an entity to access one or more resources with a second credential to be used by the entity to access the one or more resources. In response to receiving the first request, the system replaces the first credential with the second credential and allows use of the first credential for a predetermined period. In response to receiving a second request from the entity to access the one or more resources using the first credential after replacing the first credential with the second credential, the system allows the entity to access the one or more resources using the first credential during the predetermined period, and generates an indication that the entity used the first credential to access the one or more resources and that the entity is to be updated with the second credential within the predetermined period.
