What defines a reconcile account in CyberArk?

A reconcile account in CyberArk is specifically designed for situations where there may be "lost" or unknown passwords. This type of account is privileged and serves a critical function in the management of user credentials and access rights. By having a dedicated reconcile account, administrators can effectively manage and regain access to accounts that may have fallen out of the purview of regular management processes.

This process is essential for maintaining the security and integrity of privileged accounts, which are often targeted by malicious actors. The importance of reconcile accounts lies in their ability to bridge gaps in access control and ensure that all privileged accounts are accounted for, and their respective passwords can be recovered.

In contrast, the other options refer to different types of accounts or access purposes that do not align with the definition of a reconcile account. Non-privileged accounts used for routine access, accounts that must be accessed regularly, or temporary accounts for emergency access play distinct roles in an organization's access management strategy but do not serve the specific purpose of addressing lost or unknown passwords in the same way that reconcile accounts do.
