Comment on Ask HN: What happens to your Facebook account when you die?

Comments

This is the reason my wife and I share Facebook passwords. Presumably, if one of us dies, the other one will want to be able to rapidly revise the Facebook page of the other. Maybe Facebook will die before either of us, but it's good to plan ahead.

It's also possible to entirely delete a Facebook account.

I see the steps here include logging in as a particular Facebook member before following a specified Facebook link, so that is why you and your loved ones may wish to plan ahead for password exchanging (perhaps only effective on death, as specified in a will).
