Information processing apparatus, non-transitory computer readable medium storing program, and information processing method that reduce information leakage

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing a program causing a processor of an information processing apparatus to perform information processing of:

• accepting an instruction to generate a second account indicating access information for permitting access to a second storage area, which is different from a first account that indicates a registered user and indicates access information for permitting access to a first storage area, wherein the first storage area and the second storage area are in a memory of the information processing apparatus;
• generating the second account in association with the registered first account;
• performing control such that setting information set for a first device is acquired and stored in the second storage area by using the second account in a case where a request indicating that the setting information is to be stored in the second storage area is accepted;
• performing control such that the setting information stored in the second storage area is acquired by using the second account from a second device different from the first device and is output to the second device;
• and
• performing control such that the setting information stored in the second storage area is moved to the first storage area and the second account and the second storage area are erased.

An information processing method, performed by an information processing apparatus, comprising:

• accepting an instruction to generate a second account indicating access information for permitting access to a second storage area, which is different from a first account that indicates a registered user and indicates access information for permitting access to a first storage area, wherein the first storage area and the second storage area are in the information processing apparatus;
• generating the second account in association with the registered first account;
• performing control such that setting information set for a first device is acquired and stored in the second storage area by using the second account in a case where a request indicating that the setting information is to be stored in the second storage area is accepted;
• performing control such that the setting information stored in the second storage area is acquired by using the second account from a second device different from the first device and is output to the second device;
• and
• performing control such that the setting information stored in the second storage area is moved to the first storage area and the second account and the second storage area are erased.
