NO WAY! I've just been through this. Survivors NEED a password and
User ID list. There are even accounts that are not on home
computers--phone accounts. If survivors don't know the "magic
words", they can get nowhere in trying to resolve matters.
It's quite a different matter when dealing with adult kids than it is
dealing with a surviving spouse who may be dependent on accessing
funds that may be in shared accounts. Thankfully my life was not
interrupted financially when my husband passed.
I happen to trust my adult kids. They have all of my access
info. If I didn't trust them, I would have provided such a list to
my attorney. Until you have lived through such a mess, you should
quit worrying about "computer security" and get real.

I think a much better solution would be to get them their own
accounts. Writing down and sharing a password is a serious security
breach. Besides, are you really going to remember to do that every
time you change your password?
