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.

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.

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.
