Lately I started including what happens to my data in case I die unexpectedly in my threat model. As of now I'd like for everything to stay private. All my accounts have a strong password that I store on a keepass datbase that I store only on encrypted devices which themselves are protected only by PIN or Password with no biometrics (I use the pin only on my phone which is set up to get wiped after 20 failed unlock attempts to mitigate bruteforce attacks). As for what I post online, I keep it to a minimum and nothing really personal, preferring only viewing content through clients with no account when possible. I know some services allow to set up what happens after a certain period of inactivity but I was wondering if you guys can suggest anything else. Maybe some program that wipes the computer's drive after a period of inactivity? Some other tools or some tips I didn't consider?

While online I have most of my items under lock and key, my personal computer at home is set to boot automatically with my password (since the attack vector of "having the feds raid my home" is fortunately not an issue for me). So in the rare case that I'm no longer available, my family can just get my user names and passwords from my computer
