In addition, each password manager has its own inheritance system. Some allow you to provide beneficiaries complete control of your vault (which may contain credit card information and bank account details) or limit access to particular areas. Password managers enable you offer vault access to a trusted contact if you need surgery and can’t access your accounts for a short period. The password manager locks when the time restriction expires.

Remember that having someone’s internet banking password doesn’t mean having their money. Taking money from someone else’s account is illegal. Before accessing a deceased person’s bank account; contact the bank. Banks have a system for closing accounts and transferring assets. If you want someone to get your money after you die; identify them as a beneficiary or joint account holder. Your bank login info won’t help.
