You're fear is unjustified, as you're implying the appdb is inherently
more secure than the 3 other sites (which I have a feeling you can't
justify).  You worry that if the logins are unified, your appdb login
will be compromised.  As it stands, do you really think the appdb on
its own is bullet-proof, thus you don't worry about that account being
compromised?
