It could be important in some cases for a pssword to get passed on.

I know that if a Yahoo mail account isn't opened for some time (not sure how long it is) then they just delete everything. The same goes for some websites too.

I had an online contact who I exchanged emails and IMs with who died suddenly a few years ago and their daughter had access to the password and was able to let me know. I was grateful for that as I would have been wondering what had happened otherwise and why my emails hadn't been answered.
