What Happens to Your Online Accounts When You Die?


I have used www.deathswitch.com to email my passwords to a trusted patner, since I am the one holding the hosting passwords for the online CRM & ERP, Google Apps Account, Mail Chimp (for bulk email and e-mag), all these which make our small Tech Start Up tick. Incase I die I do not want to be buried with the passwords. Unless someone has an alterntive...or a way to manage transition when the company and the owner is 1 person! ------------------------------------------------------- Budgeting, Forecasting & Financial Modeling Training - www.opencastlabs.com On Wed, May 11, 2011 at 10:09 AM, James Kagwe <kagwejg@gmail.com> wrote:

I don't think anything short of a contract would serve as a guarantee. that being said, save for the law and or their conscience nothing stops them IMHO On Mon, May 23, 2011 at 6:10 PM, Paul Kevin <paultitude@gmail.com> wrote:

I still think it's safer to keep things with a lawyer, under a seal and remember to always recall the sealed envelop to update secret codes whenever they undergo a change. much like people do with written will. It doesn't always have to be high-tech, ama? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler.
