- steve_adams_86 6y agoI think they meant ‘don’t log in, discover you have access, then browse and take no further action’. You can try to log in, you just need to inform someone immediately if you have access when you shouldn’t. That’s my take anyway.
- samus 6y agoThat's what to do when it happens accidentally. It would also make sense to do so immediately after you left. They already made sure that you left behind all relevant keys, documents, and your work computer. It would be natural and in both parties' interest to ensure that all other credentials have been revoked as well in time.
- andi999 6y agoSuccessfully trying to log in can already be a crime depending on your jurisdiction in my opinion.
- steve_adams_86 6y agoYou're right - I guess in that case it would be wise to ask your previous employer to provide proof that you're no longer able to access anything, and no longer liable. Many wouldn't offer that, but I'm not sure how else you could navigate that.
- laythea 6y agoI think the common sense approach would dictate that a persons motive would need to have been shown to be nefarious for criminal proceedings to have any chance. Ie. Intent. Without intent, I struggle to see any court move with this, but I'm no lawyer - just an engineer!
- rat9988 6y agoYou ask them if it was done with a paper trail. Don't try to log in to test your credentials ouf of good faith.
- m463 6y agoYou come up with a plausible story, possibly involving an automated password manager, and post it in a public forum where you mention that you have documented all the events and your honest behavior in the matter.
