How do you manage your digital legacy for after you die?

Question

Ofc after you die, doesnt matter in the first place, but to be honest, I've been thinking about what my wife would have to deal with digitally when I'm gone. All accounts on the internet, my old pictures in Google Drive, documentation and things like that.I have password manager, so I pass this to my wife it can be easy to reach the profiles, but what else can I do to help / easier the whole process?

I set up a Dead Man's Switch. It sends me an email with a link every day. If I click it, I acknowledge that I am alive and nothing happens. If I do not, after a grace period and more reminders, it sends an email to my wife with a password-protected file. I have listed all our accounts, passwords, assets, etc., along with instructions on what to do and whom to ask for help.Disclaimer: I sell digital legacy products. However, I also honestly use them, and some of these tools I distribute for free and have made open-source.

You better watch out for is 2FA, sometimes even with passwords people still get locked out, so backup codes can help.
