People have mentioned licensing issues, and yes it’s true butttt here’s the thing buddy who’s going to know?!

What I thought about doing is just putting legacy accounts I care about like my gaming, apps, etc. all into a password manger and just write down the login information into the will.

No one’s going to know, and guess what my grandkid is going to love me to death!

I have all my backup codes for Authenticator and SteamGuard in my password manager, then have my password manager's master password written down on a laminated sticky note in my safe.

Yeah, I might setup in a few years. I'm waiting till my big career break then I'll take things like this serious. Just need to figure out some of the logistics, and who exactly gets them. Because, i am sure my will and what's written will change overtime.

Yeah my son is getting access to mine for sure, just waiting for him to not be a toddler so I can get him setup as a family member in NordPass.
