Agreed, although I wonder how many companies like that will also want you to still have a lot of power to hurt them; in this case, I gather the original continued access was in good faith, but that changed to bad faith as soon as the old boss saw the pitch deck. In the long run of a court case it might be useful to show they were trying to entrap you by keeping the accounts open but removing access to various things or rights, but you've already lost big if you get there.

One more trick you can do, although I doubt it will help much in such a bad faith situation---but maybe do it with your lawyer for documentation---is to change your passwords to randomly generated ones that you don't retain. E.g. run pwgen and cut and paste the password into the change and confirmation fields. If with a lawyer or notary, put them in front of the screen at the right point and have them generate the new password and enter it in, and document that you didn't and couldn't see it.

And that will remove all temptation to touch the forbidden fruit. I've done that with a few forums where I really didn't want to continue joining in the ... discussions.
