Abstract
For updating the password of a credential with a matching username, methods, apparatus, and systems are disclosed. One method includes storing a set of credentials, each credential in the set comprising a username and password. The method includes detecting an update to a first credential of the set of credentials, the first credential comprising a first username and a first stored password. Here, the update to the first credential indicates a new password to be associated with the first username. The method includes identifying a set of candidate credentials, each candidate credential having a username that matches the first username and a password that matches the stored password and updating the set of candidate credentials to comprise the new password.
