Lately I started including what happens to my data in case I die unexpectedly in my threat model. As of now I'd like for everything to stay private. All my accounts have a strong password that I store on a keepass datbase that I store only on encrypted devices which themselves are protected only by PIN or Password with no biometrics (I use the pin only on my phone which is set up to get wiped after 20 failed unlock attempts to mitigate bruteforce attacks). As for what I post online, I keep it to a minimum and nothing really personal, preferring only viewing content through clients with no account when possible. I know some services allow to set up what happens after a certain period of inactivity but I was wondering if you guys can suggest anything else. Maybe some program that wipes the computer's drive after a period of inactivity? Some other tools or some tips I didn't consider?

Lastly, yeah I’m dead so it’s not my problem but people will remember me for a little while more so might as well think of that too.

You have never been able to control how the people around you think about you when you are alive and won't be able to once you pass.

Everyone has their secrets and I doubt that any you have will be that shocking to friends and family.

I am not saying this to mock your preparations just to offer some perspective.
