Been out doing my Dad Activities today. Standing and staring at the disappointing mud that is the springtime garden. Replacing the dead battery in my motorbike. Drinking lots of tea. Might fall asleep on the sofa in a bit.

"I see. And at 'Violet'?"
"The one you're traveling to."
"Ah. Who translated this form?"

Writing your passwords down in a physical paper notebook, also give your family a chance to access the family pictures and documents on your computers, when you are no longer able to yourself.
Everybody should make a digital "Testament" listing passwords, and who out in the world should be told about the sad news., because they will not see the death-notice in your local paper.
