In theory I like the idea of LastPass's better "inheritence system" better.

You set an account heir in the profile. They submit an access request after death, which the deceased has X amount of time to reject (in case of abuse/heir being hacked). If the request isn't denied, the heir gains full access to the account, including logins and passwords for all online accounts.

If you choose someone you trust and set the window to an appropriate period for rejecting false requests, i.e. not 3 days when I know I'll be off the grid for 2 weeks, it seems very secure.
