And the article reminded me we’ve made some credit card changes lately so I need to make those updates in my binder. Thanks!!

Hi Irish,
Your comment is a reminder to me that my stuff is not in as good of an order as it could be. Life always seems to get in the way – doesn’t it?

The last thing that I want to do is saddle my children with a ton of paperwork.

The best way to tackle such a big project is setting aside time on a regular basis to work on it. And that is what I plan to do.

Thanks so much for thanking me for reminding you which in turn reminded me -;-).

This is such an important topic and I think so many of us really neglect this area of our life. I love the resources you shared for digital accounts. When my father passed away (in another country) it was very difficult trying to figure out his account information.

This is also something that I keep telling myself I want to get together and I have not made it a priority yet but I can totally see how important it is. Thanks for giving us all a swift kick in the pants to remind us. We all need that once in a while, right? Best wishes for your upcoming weekend Neena. Take care.

Hi Megan,

I am so honored that you stopped by – and thank you for your condolences.

I have been a long time user of 1Password and recommend it to everyone that I know.

So many people freeze when they need to log into a website that they have not visited for a long time. It is common for people to just hope that their browser has kept them signed into the sites they commonly visit.

And it really makes me cringe. Security reasons aside, as a productivity coach, I am painfully aware of the amount of time that people waste guessing at forgotten passwords.

There really is a better way, thanks to you!

I will continue my crusade to make everyone a 1Password convert.

Once again, thanks for the comment. And I would love to continue the conversation.

Thanks for that informative article. My condolences on the loss of your friend.

My name is Megan, and I work for AgileBits, the makers of 1Password. We’re honoured that you included us in this post – it’s such an important topic to be discussing and thinking about. One of our users has created a document that can be very helpful in preparing for this kind of thing: the 1Password Emergency Will Kit (http://productivityist.com/1password-emergency-kit-3).

If you have any questions about 1Password, we’d be happy to continue the conversation.

Cheers,

Hi Jill,
Thank you for the kind words. It is never easy to lose someone – and to lose someone suddenly is doubly difficult.
No one wants to think about it – and we all have so many unfinished projects. I guess it’s just about being mindful of how you go about the record keeping – always keeping in mind the perspective of someone looking in from the outside.

We think we have all the time In the world, but as you know from personal experience that can change in an instant. Very sorry for the loss of your friend.

Best wishes, Jill
