Ask Slashdot: How Do You Securely Store Private Information For Posterity? 257
An anonymous reader writes "In the event of my untimely demise, my wife and family will need access to all of my private data (email, phone, laptop password, SSN, etc) and financial accounts and passwords (banks, 401(k), mortgage, insurance, etc). What's the best way to securely store all that data knowing the data is somewhat volatile (e.g. password changes) and also that someone else who is not technically savvy will need to access the most up to date version of it? Suggestions include a printed copy in a safe deposit box, an encrypted file, a secure server in the cloud, or maybe a commercial product."

PS Anyone got an open source program to print card images onto A4 paper? (readable by Lottery hardware)

Easy, just write them on post-its and attach it to your monitor at work. It's the most secure location there is.

My way is getting the info into an /. article.
After that, the editors will take care that it is periodically available again as if it was a new article.
