The best solution to this is to include your master password for your password manager (you are using a password manager, right?) in your will. Registering this information with your lawyer is a pretty safe place to put it, and you can ensure it won't be shared until you are incapacitated or no longer living.

The alternative is to have your digital identity and property die with you. Some might legitimately choose this option instead.
