Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for managing user access credentials in a computer network. In use, a Security Asset Repository (SAR) is maintained on a first computer connected to a network, the SAR being operable for storing user access credentials to resources on the network. Additionally, a first program residing on a second computer connected to the network is executed by a user, the user having first user access credentials for accessing the second computer. Responsive to executing of the first program, the SAR is accessed by the first program, by employing second user access credentials provided to the first program by the user. Responsive to accessing the SAR by the first program, the first program retrieves third user access credentials from the SAR, the third user access credentials being operable for accessing the SAR by a third computer.
