I use KeePass. No complaints here

Does anyone know how to log on in case something happens to you?

I use 1Password. Works great.

I don't trust any software with my passwords. Pick out a set of characters that you will be able to remember - use Caps, lower case, numerals and special characters. Example might be something like 2Bottle$ and then add the first three or four characters of the website's name. That could be 2Bottle$Tig for the Rant. It won't work for every website, but it will for most.

LastPass for me after some research on the softwares out there. Whichever you go with make sure you trust the system.

So what are you doing about letting someone know how to get to your stuff if you are incapicated or die?

I wrote down what I want done and gave it in an envelope to my attorney who handles my will. It includes my password.

My opinion:
KeePass - My first choice. Best suited for DIYers or those who can live with some manual work to access it remotely. It's the only password manager worth a damn for saving lots of non-website login info like PC credentials (particularly for RDP sessions) and old Windows client applications. It can be customized for non-standard login sequences. The auto-type feature is terrific.
Dashlane - Very good for website-only usernames/passwords. They have apps for desktop, tablets, and smartphones. I find it the easiest to use as long as you don't need it for PC credentials or old Windows apps. Copying and pasting from the app is a royal pain.
LastPass - Tons of functionality but quirky. The Windows app is pure garbage. When the browser extensions work, LastPass is very quick and easy. Unfortunately, that is not often enough. YMMV.

I use an open source password manager. The source is scrutinized by the public, so anything hinky would instantly be redflagged. I compiled the executable myself, so I know that what I'm running is the publicly vetted source code. I'm pretty okay with trusting it.
Instructions and password are sealed and locked in my safe deposit box. My heirs know about the existence of the box and that it contains the instructions. They will be able to get a court order to enter the box upon my death, but until then I'm the only person who can access the contents of that box and the only written copy of my master password lives in that box. The only other place that password is stored is between my ears.

I don't care if it's keeping the world away from only five bucks. It costs nothing and good security is good security. Nobody's getting into my stuff.

Wait... do you actually think I have a safe deposit box solely for the purpose of holding a single piece of paper with one password on it?

What sort of thing does warrant a safe deposit box? I have never found a use case for myself but I also don't have any pirate's treasure or bond villain jewels.

Insurance policies, passport, birth records, social security card, tax records, "frick you" cash, and a .45.
...and 1 piece of paper with a single password written on it.

Coins and bare hard drives used in a regular backup rotation. Second box at a different bank to hold written-down Bitlocker password and the other two I need to remember. (The other several hundred passwords are in KeePass.)
