No - I lied about eating the entire cake. Actually I ate half of it. ;-)

I suppose, although somehow being the idiot sounds more stressful. Assuming of
course that you realize it, which probably isn't usually the case.

If you're around, they can ask you for the password, and then you'll
change it when they're done. If you're not around, the boss can get the
password out of the sealed envelope in the safe as well as make sure
they've filed the appropriate paperwork.
If nothing else, *you* should have an account and *they* should have an
account, and the auditing should show who is logged in when and doing
what. They should not have any excuse to turn off auditing of privileged
operations.

Of course.

Changing the passwords regularly ensures that they communicate, is all.
Hopefully you've written up formally your AAARRRRGGHH experience and
passed it to your boss and your legal department.

To put it succinctly... yes.
Assuming I survive this migration, my next priority is to gently
*remind* the various agencies that I'm still looking for work...

Hopefully it's a transition and not a migration.

Yeah the conversation should have run:
"Have you read all the documentation regarding our legal requirements to
document all changes?"
"What legal requirements?"
"Please go and see our QA manager and she'll walk you through it all"
End of responsibilty. If they go through the legal stuff and don't do it,
then it's their fault. If they don't go through the legal stuff after
you've told them about it and subsequently balls it up, then it's their
fault.
