What is Passbox?
Passbox was a digital safety deposit box developed by David Small with partial funding from Y Combinator. It provided a secure platform for storing sensitive information such as notes and credentials, including passwords.
The tool functioned as a dead man switch, allowing users to designate benefactors who could access the stored data if the user became incapacitated for a pre-set amount of time. This ensured that important information remained accessible to trusted individuals in case of emergencies or unforeseen circumstances.
