No.
Problem with a dead-man switch is forgetting to turn it off.
What a completely unecessary way to complicate your life. Inheritance stuff and wills should be left to your lawyers, not some easily compromised online service. As for the online accounts, who gives a fuck about accsessing them after I kick the bucket? It’s not like my grandchildren are going to wistfully read my lemmy shitposts.
Just use a password manager and set a switch up there
Then (if you have a well structured password safe) you also give whoever you choose to give it to information about your bank accounts or insurance numbers that relatives might not be aware of
Going through all the books to figure out what’s relevant and what you have to care for is a huge pain.
I don’t know if I’d want my lawyer to spend hours (that I’d have to pay for) in order to get access to accounts that might be relevant.
Who knows what’s relevant in the end?
Sure if you’re saving the logins for porn inside your manager, too, then it’s going to be awkward but so is the old-school porn-box under the bed or the toys-drawer
The article does not mention bit warden, which has this built in.
Putting that kind of switch on a password safe seems to be the best option by far.
Not having to worry about single accounts and on top also having the ability to save insurance numbers, bank accounts etc. - if tagged/organised correctly a password-safe would’ve helped to much by not having to dig through binders of papers to see which insurances where running and which not for example and if you missed an account or some portfolio
My dead man’s switch will do the opposite of what many people want and just flood everyone I know with my browser history and porn collection.
