Will old boss know if I use his Capital IQ account?

I interned for a hedge fund last summer and I still have the login info for my boss's Cap IQ account. I know Cap IQ is really anal about multiple people using the same account, so I plan to log in early in the morning when there's no chance he'd be logged in as well. As long as I don't log in at the same time he is, will it raise any red flags with either Cap IQ or my boss (aside from the "last login" time that, as I recall, is in tiny font and nobody reads)?

 

I had the same thing happen with my old internship's Reuters software. It's exactly what it seems like: they could notice that someone is using it and might get logged out due to the multiple sign-on restrictions. For them to find out it were you, they'd have to call up the company and see if they have a location via IP.

But for all that work, they'd just change the password.

If multiple users are signed in simultaneously, the email address tied to the account gets a notice from CapIQ forcing them to change their password. It is incredibly annoying, but not the end of the world. If you log on during a really off hour, you should be safe.

right now on my platform you can see "recently viewed" companies, profiles, documents, and screens. i never use that part of the platform but sometimes does glance it if im looking for something i know i looked up recently and too lazy to search again. if youre using the excel should be okay
