Hello Eric,

Even if the leaving admin has a contract which normally includes a secrecy
paragraph, you have only one secure option. Change all passwords she/he knows.

And of course think about how you store your passwords in the future and
if it is needed that any admin need to know really all passwords, if they
only administer one of multiple domains.

Best regards

Meinolf Weber
