  As digital technologies become more prevalent there is a growing awareness of
the importance of good security and privacy practices. The tools and techniques
used to achieve this are typically designed with the living user in mind, with
little consideration of how they should or will perform after the user has
died. We report on two workshops carried out with users of password managers to
explore their views on the post-mortem sharing, security and privacy of a range
of common digital assets. We discuss a post-mortem privacy paradox where users
recognise value in planning for their digital legacy, yet avoid actively doing
so. Importantly, our findings highlight a tension between the use of
recommended security tools during life and facilitating appropriate post-mortem
access to chosen assets. We offer design recommendations to facilitate and
encourage digital legacy planning while promoting good security habits during
life.
