    So, in summary, I'm wondering if someone has a persuasive argument or a reference that would appeal to business (not IT) people as to why it would be wise for one of them to have all the passwords in a safe and test that they're all up-to-date. Or another business-person-palatable solution. Thanks

    Thanks.

    Personally, I'd frame as something like "Are you willing to lose your paychecks (either through lost revenue or shutdown of the entire company) if our systems go down and we can't fix them because we don't have the proper access in an emergency?"

    Business people understand $$$. If the management isn't willing to change, leave. I wouldn't bet my paycheck on it.
