PassMyWill Is A Will For Your Online Assets And Passwords

Pretty sure these guys have been doing something similar for a while now: <a href="https://www.lifeensured.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.lifeensured.com/</a><p>I wonder if PassMyWill has ever been audited for security vulnerabilities? LifeEnsured has: <a href="https://www.lifeensured.com/faqs#security" rel="nofollow">https://www.lifeensured.com/faqs#security</a><p>EDIT: lol. The login form on PassMyWill gets POST'd over HTTP.<p>EDIT2: Nope, the entire server doesn't support SSL. <i>facepalm</i>

Another problem is keeping your backup passwords in sync with your day to day use passwords, especially if you're not going to die to 40-80 years.<p>Probably the best solution is to have something like 1Password set to automatically manage passwords, encrypted with a master password, and then disclose only enough information to get to the daily-use 1Password. Disclosing a single password like that is probably better accomplished in a paper will, stored with a lawyer/executor.<p>Although there's also some value in an "I'm dead" script which deletes porn, porn passwords, information about your affairs, criminal activity, compromising photos involving porn and crime and drugs, the Guatemalan second family you support, etc., before turning over things like facebook passwords to next of kin.

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).

This is an interesting start up and concept but it seems like there's a pretty high barrier to entry. In order to use this site you have to place a lot of trust in it to:<p>* Be secure with your credentials to sites * Reliably figure out that you are dead * Trust that your next of kin will figure out the key you've set up<p>It's certainly a useful concept and much better than hoping your loved one placed the credentials somewhere you could access them.

What benefit would this provide over simply having an encrypted memory stick (or similar) containing all of the necessary account information and leaving the password with someone trusted (e.g., lawyer responsible for will, family member friend, etc)? (or, as troels suggests, leaving the password or even the stick in a safe)

Entrustet.com has been doing this for several years now. They have been on TC in some capacity a few times:<p><a href="http://entrustet.com/" rel="nofollow">http://entrustet.com/</a>

I really don't see it competing much with having an envelope with a master password (e.g. my gmail password) in my safe?

What a great way to get your passwords stolen.
