Just make a program that takes a password, and then (if correct) sends two emails: One to your box, and then (a day later) one to whomever you're leaving your data to. Tell them the password and then if they use it before you're dead, you have a day to change everything.

- tlrobinson 17y agoIt should include a way for you to cancel the request, so if the person does use it before you die you don't have to reset all your passwords. Basically a dead man's switch. I thought there were already similar services but only found this casualty of the first dotcom bubble: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/1999/11/29/BU82176.DTL http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/ar...
- dkokelley 17y agoThere are similar services but the author questions the integrity and security of those services.
- Jebdm 17y agoBetter yet, don't require "changing everything". Write a program that takes a password, and upon validation sends you an email. If you don't reply within a certain period of time (say, a week), then it will send your info to whoever you want to leave it to. And make sure you can change the waiting period, in case you go on vacation or something.
