After they die, I don't see why someone would want their family to have their passwords. Every email, IM and Google search? Even if you don't do anything "wrong," there's still probably a ton of stuff you wouldn't want anyone reading (especially out of context). |

He had a busy life online, post-retirement - built and ran a website for a yacht club, used the computer to book stand-by travel with his former employer (American Airlines), online banking, etc.
Nothing where the lack of access would have been a killer. But not having them would have been inconvenient for a lot of people.
Happily, he kept his accounts and passwords in a tablet, on his desk. Single-space, filled the page. So I was able to hand the 'keys' of the website over to his backup, get my mother logged in to the website so she can book tickets, and so on.
Every single online account would have been excessive. But the ones he documented, I'm glade he did: saved a lot of people some inconvenience.
