I live in New York and I am of the Hebrew faith, so I think of death regularly. It is a stereotype, but what are you going to do about it? I also read this.

It occurred to me that if I die no one will be able to access my online accounts and the bills I pay on the internet because all the codes and sites I use are in my head.

I was wondering if anyone had a suggestions on how to leave codes behind or if a download existed to deal with this new "problem".

Chuck a list of passwords and relevant details in your will.

Just what bills do you pay online that you wouldn't be absolved of upon death?  The only one I can think of is mortgage but before anyone else could start paying it anyway there would have to be a transference of ownership...

Bruce Schneier reccommends you write them down on a piece of paper and keep them safe the same way you safe-keep other valuable pieces of paper (money, passport, ID, insurance, &c.)
