I built this to scratch my itch. If something happened to me, I wondered what would happen to my bank account, online subscriptions, passwords (in case my family needed them), etc.<p>Most of us also have a legal will to help our family, but I think most everyday things are left out. So this is an informal digital will.<p>The idea is simple:<p>1. Create a note, and keep it updated<p>2. Add up to 5 recipients<p>3. Check in once every 30, 60, or 90 days. You can pick your check-in period.<p>If you don't check-in, the note is sent as a PDF file to every recipient.
I can't see any way that I can save information on your service and have it inaccessible to the admins, especially if the note will be sent as a PDF to the registered recipients.<p>So I really can't put anything sensitive in the note, including things like passwords or bank codes. That rather limits the usefulness.
Your family may need a lot more than just your passwords.<p>There are a few things you may need to do at the county level, like filling out forms and paying fees so that your state can be executed quickly without additional costs and headaches for your relatives.<p>A tool that could help you navigate this process depending on where you live and what kind of assets you have would be a lot more helpful IMO.<p>Providing access to digital accounts is really not that difficult.<p>I use Google's Inactive Account Manager to give two groups of relatives access to two different accounts where they can download files containing all the user accounts they need.
Everyone on HN will have the same questions: how can you prevent data loss or snooping by admins?<p>To answer this, you have written a privacy policy, which mentions the word "encryption" exactly 0 times.<p><a href="https://backupdiary.com/privacy" rel="nofollow">https://backupdiary.com/privacy</a>
So sketchy. Who is the team behind this? A data leak would be catastrophic and what's preventing the admins from accessing your info. I think I'll just stick with Gmail which gives access to my account after 3 months of no activity.
The user should provide a password, that is only useful if the service emails the recipients with a link to hosted page that will decrypt the data client side.
