I went through something similar when my SO's dad passed. Her mom is not tech savvy by any means and my SO is only somewhat savvy, so it was up to me to break into the Windows machine, check for any spare files that might contain passwords, etc.
I got lucky, because the man kept a .rtf or .doc file with them written down. Bad format, some were out of date, etc, but I was able to get into the e-mail, which led to the rest of it.
After that whole ordeal, it put things into perspective for me. I use FDE and you need a hardware token to even boot my machine. I will need to share a minimum of 3 master passwords for my SO to unlock my digital life. Should I die before any of this is written down and secured, I strongly doubt she'd even attempt. That saddens me because there are a lot of pictures and whatnot, so I need to put together a posthumous security protocol.
