       Ask HN: Where do you store important information for your next of
       kin?
        
       I manage most of my family's finances, insurance, bills, etc.
       There's nothing wild, but there are a lot of different accounts in
       different places. I would like to keep all of this information
       somewhere that would be easily accessible to my wife if I get hit
       by a bus, but that is secure enough that I don't have to worry
       about someone else making off with our life savings. What solutions
       have you all used for this sort of thing?

       | 
       | Then my computer + the NAS both have offline KeePass DBs on them
       | with every single password, bank account, etc in them for longer
       | term stuff.
       | 
       | The same NAS has all our family photos, scanned documents and
       | contracts, etc. We (wife, kids, etc) all work off the NAS for all
       | our family document storage so they're familiar with that aspect
       | already.

       | 
       | I pay for the family edition of 1Password, and I have a family
       | vault which includes everything that we need to share. My wife
       | has also stored my master credentials in her vault, and I have
       | done the same with hers. We mostly store bank cards and logins in
       | 1Password, and while it can also store docs, we actually use my
       | second solution instead.
       | 
       | The second solution is the deployment of a Synology NAS DS1019+.
       | I have set up an account each for our digital lives; photos, docs
       | etc. and for redundancy I also use backblaze. All of the Synology
       | creds are stored in 1password.
