Most businesses are surprised by how many exist \u2014 accounts they&#8217;d forgotten about are often the riskiest ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-phase-by-risk-not-by-convenience\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Phase by Risk, Not by Convenience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vault your highest-risk accounts first (domain admin, database admin, network device credentials) rather than starting with whatever&#8217;s easiest to migrate. This gets the biggest risk reduction earliest, even if the full rollout takes longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-automatic-rotation-needs-application-awareness\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Automatic Rotation Needs Application Awareness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some applications hard-code credentials and break if a password rotates underneath them.
