Re: How did he obtained the former employee password?

As I recall it was on a post-it note on the former scout's PC. For the Astros to force a PW change means nothing if he re-uses the one from the previous employer. There's no way a new employer can guarantee that all passwords have never been used before by an employee. Except with a password manager than randomly generates the password and such that the employee never sees any passwords except the one to use the manager. Convoluted, isn't it?
