Abstract
Systems and methods for changing database passwords are described. A first server computing system receives an indication to perform a password change process for an administrative account of an associated database. The server generates a vault configured to store a password change status and a password secret associated with the account. The server sets the password change status to a first value to indicate that the server is performing the password change process and then performs the password change process for the account. The server then sets the password change status to a second value to enable a second server computing system to perform a second password change process for a second administrative account of a database associated with the second server system. The database associated with the second server computing system is a standby database of the database associated with the first server system.
