I'm pretty sure a death certificate is all you need and someone at Apple screwed up big time. (www.cbc.ca)

I agree with this. -- nm - loaner machine mandy Jan 19, 09:28 1
- Alicia Florrick definitely agrees. -- nm - Max Jan 19, 09:31
Why are people dumb? You have access to his email. Reset the password and move along. - oblique Jan 19, 09:24 3
- There are no security questions? -- nm - mara Jan 19, 10:08
- unless they knew he was dead, but yeah -- nm - Beaker Jan 19, 09:28
- Well, she's old. But, yeah. This was my thought. -- nm - Mop Jan 19, 09:28
I keep a file in our safety deposit box with passwords and copies of bank statements, credit cards, investment statements, power/cable bills, etc -- nm - Beaker Jan 19, 09:20 17
- We do as well. Plus Lastpass now allow you to set up an emergency contact that can get your passwords if something happens to you. - spamlet Jan 19, 09:24 13
  - is lastpass a pay service? -- nm - loaner machine mandy Jan 19, 09:29 12
    - $12/year. -- nm - spamlet Jan 19, 09:29 11
      - (And it's totally worth it to me.) -- nm - JaxSean Jan 19, 09:42
      - I need to check on this. I seem to have free access from desktop but they demand money for access to the same account on mobile. -- nm - Max Jan 19, 09:32 1
        
        Yes. They have a free tier and a pay tier. -- nm - spamlet Jan 19, 09:35
      - But every once in a while they'll give a year of free access. I have access through December 2017 right now for instance. -- nm - spamlet Jan 19, 09:30 6
        
        Can you please pass along to me if you see this again? - JaxSean Jan 19, 09:44 1
        
        Will do. -- nm - iSpam Jan 19, 10:15
        
        $12 seems reasonable. I think patryk's is $60/yr. -- nm - loaner machine mandy Jan 19, 09:30 3
        
        There are some that are a lot more (I think 1Password is a big one that's expensive). -- nm - spamlet Jan 19, 09:38
        
        I [heart] Lastpass. It integrates with Chrome and Mobile Safari really, really well. - spamlet Jan 19, 09:32 1
        
        I haven't been able to figure out how to work your IM yet. I need to look into it. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 19, 09:45
      - what a ripoff! -- nm - decline Jan 19, 09:29
- The key is locked inside Beaker's chastity belt. -- nm - Max Jan 19, 09:23
- Just never change your password, OK? -- nm - Mop Jan 19, 09:22
- good to know. Which bank was that again ? -- nm - decline Jan 19, 09:22
