Serious question. Why wouldn't I just use a safety deposit box? Outside of the convenience of being electronic what benefit does this add over a physical storage space? The deposit box can store non-electronic stuff as well. When I die, I can pass the key over to the executor and that person can go through the contents etc.
- mrdazm 7y agoTo me I think that'd definitely work with static content/data and of course physical items. Things like passwords, accounts, devices and any special notes you may want to leave can change pretty often and presumably could become a chore to replace in the box and get neglected. It could also be a hassle handling physical keys and also re-assigning who gets what. The barrier to having multiple and also changing accessors goes down. Overall I'm not knocking the deposit box approach but it could be a little more work to maintain.
