While running through some user accounts in our ADS setup I noticed that one of them is set to "Store password using reversible encryption." This is no good and does not meet the company's security requirements that I work for. My question is if I uncheck this setting will I possibly lose the ability to login as this account anymore?
PARANOIA:

I doubt it would not allow the user to login.
If anything, it might require you to reset the user's password.
