This seems... reasonable. I’m fine with Apple not turning over my passwords to the executor of my estate when I die. If I wanted them to, I’d put something specific about that in my will.
- judge2020 6y agoWould they even be able to do this? I was under the impression that keychain was e2e encrypted so you'd need the password and an existing device's passcode to unlock the password vault.
- millerm 6y agoWell, you put that in the will. Or a safe deposit box, like we all should do with our master keys for our password managers. Mine has been in my backpack for 2 years. At least it's in an envelope. :-D
- HunterWare 6y agoHeh... have a +1 =)
- Aeolun 6y agoThey can reset the password on the apple account? So presumably they can let someone in by telling them what they reset it to.
- HunterWare 6y agoAn updated envelope with your password(s) in a safety deposit box? Giving your trustee (whom you evidently trust) your password(s) and keeping them updated? Using Death/Recovery systems in existing password managers (ie 1Password for Families “Emergency Kit”, if that’s your jam)? There are a lot of ways to address this, people just have to do it or face the inevitable consequences of not doing it.
- ReptileMan 6y agoIt is better the other way - if you don't want exempt it. Anyway she has a way to get what she wants - a court order. I doubt that she would have great problems obtaining it. Apple are just covering their ass.
