Lately I started including what happens to my data in case I die unexpectedly in my threat model. As of now I’d like for everything to stay private. All my accounts have a strong password that I store on a keepass datbase that I store only on encrypted devices which themselves are protected only by PIN or Password with no biometrics (I use the pin only on my phone which is set up to get wiped after 20 failed unlock attempts to mitigate bruteforce attacks). As for what I post online, I keep it to a minimum and nothing really personal, preferring only viewing content through clients with no account when possible. I know some services allow to set up what happens after a certain period of inactivity but I was wondering if you guys can suggest anything else. Maybe some program that wipes the computer’s drive after a period of inactivity? Some other tools or some tips I didn’t consider?

I’m not sure how to get started and am also reading this for suggestions.

I don’t particularly care if people find my porn or whatever, since I’ll be too dead to look relatives in the eye after they saw that. But I like the idea of being kind to whoever is left dealing with the administrative issues surrounding my death. Like swedish death cleaning, except the mess is loan payments and pictures of my pets.
