Passwords after death
This is my first post, so please be gentle with me!
At the moment, I'm in the process of setting up a web-based business. This means:
- buying domain names (whose control panel is accessed by password)
- buying hosting (accessed by password)
- setting up a shopping cart (another password)
- creating an account with a payment processor like PayPal (yet another password)
And I haven't even mentioned the e-mail accounts associated with the site, nor the blogging, FaceBook and MySpace accounts used to promote the site, all of which are accessed with passwords.
While I've been setting some of these up, it crossed my mind that all of these passwords were locked in my head. And then it occurred to me that if I were to meet with an unexpectedly premature demise, those passwords would pass away with me.
So then I started to worry. What happens if my web based business is doing well, bringing in a respectable income.... and I get hit by a bus? How do the family members that I leave behind gain access to the site, or more importantly the revenue stream?
Does anyone know of a system where passwords can be placed in an envelope to be opened "in the event of my death"?
Sorry for being so morbid, but it's better to sort this out now rather than wait til it's too late!
John.
