What Happens to Your Passwords When You Die?

Last semester, a member of my graduating class who lived in my dorm died tragically in the LA Metrolink crash. A week and a half ago, one of my classmates lost another good friend who was killed on Interstate 10 while returning from a visit to a graduate program in Texas.

Until today, I'd never thought about what happened to their computers, their e-mail accounts, and their Facebook profiles. As a couple of other blogs are reporting, Legacy Locker, a company offering a will-like service for your online presence, will begin taking customers in a couple of weeks.

Whether you're interested in the service or just think it's interesting, VentureBeat has the full story.
