I have thought about this on and off for quite a few years now, and I was just wondering what people here have done while maintaining account / device security.
I hope people don’t mind this rather morbid conversation, but how have people here planned for what will happen with their accounts, computers, self hosted things etc. in the event of their deaths? I am particularly interested in what people have planned for if they are the person in their household who is self hosting things for the household. I’m not in a living situation that allows me to self host much but it is one of the questions I’ve had for myself when I decide to move in with my significant other and self host more things. I don’t think they could manage much of the self hosted stuff and I also don’t think they can remember all of the credentials for accounts etc., is the best way of going about it sharing a keepass database or bitwarden account with them?
In regards to my accounts, I am not expecting most of my accounts to transfer, if anything I’d much rather them be deleted (and I have enabled this feature where possible). There are a few however, that I wouldn’t mind leaving to someone after my passing. Is there a privacy and security preserving way of setting this up?
I guess I have just been struggling with how to do this, ideally I would want a way for accounts to transfer to someone listed in my will, but I don’t think it’s a good idea to give ~2-3 people a copy of my keepass databse while I am still living.
I am looking forward to hearing what people’s thoughts are on this matter, and I apologize again for such a morbid topic.

Dibs on the bike!
Nah, it wasn’t depressing. The privileged middle class are completely clueless about life outside of their bubble, so good on you for sharing your truth.
Your bike is more expensive than whatever device you’re using to tell us about it?
You can buy good phones for $200 these days. They are way more affordable than good bikes.

Even if you don’t have anything material to leave behind, there are still a few questions that it’s good to have the answers written down for, mostly advanced directives. You can find free AD forms if you live in the US at https://www.aarp.org/caregiving/financial-legal/free-printable-advance-directives/ and most other countries have a similar system.
