It’s called a sheet of paper with important information on it.
No need for anything fancy or some weird online thing, just stuff written down.
My strategy too. I have a piece of paper with my bitwarden credentials (password and OTP code) and a list of important items like bank accounts, utilities on autopay, etc.
I review it with my spouse every year and update anything out of date.
Yeeeeeah….
I get the idea, but I’ll never trust the security of the services. Maybe to just say goodbye and stuff? But never to hand over account access, and never to include passwords.
My dead man’s switch will do the opposite of what many people want and just flood everyone I know with my browser history and porn collection.
The article does not mention bit warden, which has this built in.
Putting that kind of switch on a password safe seems to be the best option by far.
Not having to worry about single accounts and on top also having the ability to save insurance numbers, bank accounts etc. - if tagged/organised correctly a password-safe would’ve helped to much by not having to dig through binders of papers to see which insurances where running and which not for example and if you missed an account or some portfolio
Been thinking about building something for this. It’s especially useful for cryptocurrencies since there’s no legal means through regular estate law to turn them over. Just some encryption keys. The current solutions are meh and require other crypto natives to operate.
I kind of like the idea of encrypting your important afterlife bits on a thumb drive (with gpg or whatever). Give half the encryption key to two different people in your life that you trust. If they both have the thumb drive and their keys they can decrypt it and do what they want. Just tell them what they’d be looking for, give the drive to an estate lawyer or other trusted third party, or a bank’s safe deposit box.
Could be pretty effective, and you don’t have to worry bout some rando company being breached or doing something shitty with your data.
