Suggestions for a document with passwords etc. in case sth happens to me
So, I want to prepare an instruction for my family in the case I'm dead, in coma or something similar. This document will need to contain (or point to) passwords, but also services which need to be paid, things which need to be done on a regular basis, etc. Of course, I don't want to have my passwords lying around in plain text (although a sealed envelope would probably be a reasonable compromise). Do you have any good practices/suggestions here? Note: while my family is not very tech-savvy, we have friends who are (and who would be willing to help if need arises), so I am (for example) strongly considering using a secret sharing algorithm.
Plain text files in an envelope placed in a bank safety deposit box. Specifically list the safety deposit box in the will. Family members can have the box opened by bank staff with a death certificate.
Consider storing all your passwords in a password manager. I can recommend pass synchronized with git on PC and smartphone but many other services are available. Then, write your master password (or encryption key password) somewhere your family knows where to find in case of need.
This way you do not have to store the full password database in plaintext but only the main password. If you add/delete a password you do not have to print anything again.
