Let me guess. She'll probably reject that envelope for the following reasons:
1. The account is known to be compromised (being under a third party control). Even if parent credentials could be removed, there's still a possibility they could gain access with social engineering with support, as they know detailed history of the account.
2. Unless she's completely monitored and barred from any network access, she'd probably already have another set of accounts by that time. Otherwise would signify she doesn't need any.
3. By that time she'd have her own perception of her own identity, that would be likely (but not necessarily) different from her parents' view of the time she didn't have much of personality - which is enough of a reason to reject the mismatching accounts and create ones to her own tastes.
- bsenftner 13y agoI imagine it being pretty funny and old fashioned thinking when she is presented with the envelope. "Ya, rite M&P. I'll get rite on this and... whatever..." rolling her eyes as her attention returns to the table top augmented reality reality show where she virtually lives with all her favorite Disney, Nickelodeon, Fox, ESPN, Democrat, Republican, Tea Party, and Occupy celebrities.
- aroman 13y agoIf I were the daughter I would do this. My identity is what I want it to be. My parents have their own view of me, the government has another, etc. Really, if I were her, I would gladly accept the domain names and accounts she squatted and point them to her own accounts. Really, not everyone (and I would actually major most don't) want github.com/<fullname>.
