When my brother died unexpectedly, I felt it was appropriate to check his online account.
I was named the executor of his estate in his will. All it took for me to get into his account was to read off the number from the credit card he paid the account with.
My brother was the type who would have concealed anything he didn't want seen. In fact, one of his hard drives was encrypted, and I never got into it. Although he had told me some of his passwords, he hadn't told me that one, so I assume it was private.
I wasn't being nosy; I was settling his affairs, as he asked me to in his will.
Anyway, once the person is dead, it's not like it makes a difference to them.
