Who Gets Your Passwords?: TheSeniorTechie Guide To Digital Estate Planning - Softcover
Book 1 of 2: TheSeniorTechie Guides
Synopsis
Here is what nobody tells you about dying, or getting sick in a way that leaves you unable to manage your own life: your family will not be locked out of your stuff in some dramatic movie way. They will be locked out of it in the most ordinary way possible. They will not know your email password. They will not be able to unlock your phone. They will not know which bank you actually use, because you have three, and the one with the most money in it is not the one anyone remembers.
This happens constantly. It is not rare, and it is not really anyone's fault. We were never taught to think about our digital lives this way. Wills cover the house and the car. Almost nobody's will covers the seventeen accounts you log into every week.
This is a plain-language guide for two kinds of readers: people who want their accounts, photos, and digital life to be findable by the people they love, and adult children trying to help a parent get organized before a crisis instead of after one.
Inside, among other things:
- How to give one trusted person real access without texting anyone a password
- How to catch a photo backup that quietly stalled out months ago
- How to prevent the financial freeze that leaves a mortgage unpaid while the money sits three feet away
- How to start the conversation, including what to say when it feels overdue
You don't need to be tech-savvy. You need a few afternoons and someone to just tell you what to do.

About the Author
Paul Wilczynski is a retired software developer whose decades of solving complex problems now fuel his work helping older adults navigate modern life. As TheSeniorTechie, he runs a site, newsletter, and workshop series created "by a senior, for seniors." In his mid‑70s and living in Asheville, North Carolina, with his wife, Joan Brasier, Paul writes to spare families the avoidable digital mess he's seen too often.
From the Back Cover
What happens to your digital life when you can't protect it yourself?
<p>
Your passwords. Your photos. Your bank and investment accounts. A lifetime of email and messages. All of it locked behind screens your family can't open — unless you take a few hours to change that.
<p>
Who Gets Your Passwords? is a practical, plain-language guide to the part of your estate most plans ignore: everything that lives on a screen. With warmth and clear, real‑world guidance, Paul Wilczynski shows you how to build a digital estate plan that works in emergencies, during illness, and after you're gone.
<p>
Inside, you'll learn how to:
<br>
* Create a simple, do-able account inventory in seven days
<br>
* Choose and set up a password manager your family can actually use
<br>
* Protect decades of irreplaceable family photos and personal files
<br>
* Prepare your social media and online accounts for whatever comes next
<br>
* Have the one family conversation that turns good intentions into a real plan
<p>
No technical background required. No legalese. Just short, concrete steps you can take in a few hours.
<p>
The families left scrambling aren't the ones with complicated digital lives. They're the ones whose loved ones never left a map.
<p>
This book is the map.
