I use a password manager and all my passwords go into a single password database. It doesn’t matter if something was important (e.g banking) or less important (e.g one time use for a forum).

I am thinking about separating into multiple data bases. Something like:

  • personal data
  • hobbies
  • finance stuff
  • throw_away (one time use for forums / downloads …)

I want to get some inspiration and ideas how to separate the passwords.

    Make sure the password to that master database is written down someplace safe. Make sure your will specifies where to find it. This means the witnesses to your will and your lawyer know where to find it, so make sure you can trust them. (A lawyer might even know of a good safe place to put it). If you don’t have a will and won’t get one, find an alternative for at least these.

    When you die your estate needs to get into your account and pay your bills. A few online forums are personal enough that you should have them post your obituary (most are too anonymous - but some you get to know the other members). Hopefully your death is a long ways away, but it will come.
