well, yesterday i got a doubt that what happens to all our earnings and information we made once we die.Then i thought it would be better if you leave any clue of our passwords at least to our brothers/sisters. though i didnt do that.i wonder if anyone got this doubt already. and what do you do to give all your online earnings to your loved ones after your death.

If I die my mother or sister would know some of that info because there my most trusted family and they would never do anything seriously untrustworthy so I dont mind them knowing some of my personal info but other then them, no one knows my info not even friends.

I have a journal where I keep all my secret password and website I've joined for online earnings. It was not in my computer, I actually handwritten them in my journal, including the username and the corresponding password. And keep this journal at the safest place in my room. My husband has the same journal and we both keep it in our secret place. If I die first, he'll get all of my earnings. If who, then I'll get everything.

on usb stick?if anyone steals it or if in case it got damaged then how do you recover all.is it safe to do so.and do you think its better to save all our passwords in any online site and tell the password of that site to our dear one?

I don't leave password clues for others to follow. Nobody else needs to know my passwords but me. i might try to leave a password clue or two to myself if i think I might forget.

Yes, my husband has access to any and all passwords to surveys, sites I go to and my emails. As does my daughter, at 60 years old I feel this is a wise thing to have. If I die for instance my husband can access my paypal if need. After all he could use the money there if any I certainly would not need it. Also he or my daughter could let mylot friends or others I am not longer alive if this happened. It is just a smart thing to do to have it in a place someone you can trust to access if need even if I should be ill and can't be online for awhile people would like to know I am sure.

My passwords are something that I can't imagine that anyone would probably just guess. I do have a little notebook that has all this info in it and my girls do know where it is. It has everything they could possibly need in it including my bank account, online accounts, passwords, soc. security # etc. We have talked about all this and they do know how to get into all my accounts in the event that something were to happen to me.

Hi friend,
Your doubt is absolutely practical.We never know what is going to happen with us in the future.We should not keep thinking of bad things but at least we should be planned.That way we must keep some record which may be useful and handy to our relatives if something occurs unavoidable.

Hello kiran0074u. I have been wondering why you are thinking about this. I have not thought of dying. Well, I have no plan to pass down my account to anyone. I take this only for fun and for past time and not merely a way to earn a money for livelihood. So I think that I won't be able to pass this trend to my family.
This was an interesting discussion. Lolz. Anyways. Thanks for the discussion. Love the way you think.
Have a nice day. Happy mylotting and keep on posting.
