Zusammenfassung:	A method, a device and a computer program product are provided. A networked device determines whether a condition occurred. In response to detecting the condition, the networked device requests information to update a current credential of the networked device. The networked device updates the current credential with the requested information to maintain security of the networked device. The networked device accesses at least one networked service based on the updated credential. The current credential includes either a cryptographic key or a password. When the current credential includes the password, the condition includes a usage rate including one or more from a group of a quantity of reboot commands for the networked device and a quantity of software update commands for the networked device.
