This hasn't happened to everyone yet, but it should provide a good warning: Think about what might happen to your user accounts and other digital junk when you die. At least do something like put a sealed envelope with important usernames and passwords (and phone unlock codes) in a safe deposit box or another secure location. It'll make things a lot easier, since whoever has the power of attorney won't have to deal with telcos or first-tier support.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
