1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
determining that (a) an existing credential associated with a web application will expire and (b) the existing credential has been compromised prior to being renewed, and in response:
sending, to the web application, a credential renewal request for a new credential to replace an existing credential, wherein the credential renewal request is submitted via a request interface of the web application and obfuscates an identity of the existing credential to prevent correlation of the new credential to the existing credential;
receiving the new credential from the web application;
storing the new credential to use to access the web application; and
adjusting an expiration period of the existing credential to cause the existing credential to expire immediately.
