Storing passwords incase of death?

You could use something like lastpass? And leave the password in the will.

If you was really worried about people getting access prior to death you could buy a Yubikey and associate that with the account so you need the usb key and also the password to get access to it.

And just leave a note that the Yubikey is stored here and the password is this.

You can have secure notes etc on Lastpass and it is all encrypted prior to going to Lastpass.

Hmm good point actually. If you die, and no one knows the password, that account will just disappear. Obviously with bank accounts, solicitors can help the next in kin get access to that money.

But what about something like a Steam account etc.? If you suddenly die, that account will just disappear completely. All those games you've spent hundreds on just gone to waste.

I hadn't thought of that kind of thing before so wouldn't have left the password anywhere about. So if I kicked the bucket tomorrow... What a waste.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, although a pretty grim topic.

I would probably as you say use a heavily encrypted flash drive containing all the log in details, with a strong password that I would keep a trusted person updated on.

Just spat some tea all over my desk at this!

To be honest my Steam account would be the last thing I think of in my last living moments.

True gamer thinking about that :D
 
I have a heavily encrypted file with all my passwords. only me and my wife have the single passphrase for it. if we both die, who gives a damn ;-)
 
Just leave your email details in your will..... They can rest passwords they don't know. Just need to ensure they know user names if it cant be retrieved via an email..
