Death Switch


Imagine that you die with computer passwords in your head, leaving co-workers without access to critical files. Imagine your loved ones cannot find your bank accounts, or that you die with a secret that you longed to reveal duting your lifetime.

A Death Switch is an automated system that prompts you for your password on a regular schedule to make sure you are still alive. With no reply, the computer deduces you are dead, and your pre-scripted messages are automatically emailed to those named by you.
