Doesn't need to be immediate since he's with us for 2 more weeks but given Philippe's departure we need to change the password for the noc@wikimedia.org (master) google webmaster account since he has it.

Hello, @Jalexander,
This is probably my fault, but I do not fully understand the request here. If Philippe is leaving, his email should be redirected to his manager, and from there external services account should be resettable.
If this would not work, please provide more details to clarify my confusion. Maybe you need to reset a WMF email/LDAP password, not a Google Webmaster account? Thanks.

Sorry, this response seems to have been missed, the issue is that Philippe had the master password for the the main noc@wikimedia.org (as do I). So we need to reset that. Given the timing it would be good to do this as soon as we can. I can do the password change but I don't have access to the place where ops usually stores the password file so someone else would need to put the updated file there.

@Jalexander How about this: You reset the password and then save it in a text file in your home directory on a WMF server,owned by just you. Then you just let me know where and i take it from there and put it in the ops password store location. Seems easiest to me and we don't even have to mail the password around or anything.

That works for me, I'll put it in a similar file to the one we currently use and let you know.

It has been changed. I got it from James and updated the existing password file that ops uses.
