Abstract
Sanitizing passwords used in a shared, privileged account includes providing a password of a shared account to a user; identifying a first machine logged into using the password; determining when the first machine enters an inconsistent state; and modifying a memory area associated with the first machine to eliminate occurrences of the password in the memory area.
