I'm wondering how I can make it as easy as possible for those who I leave behind, writing down things like phone unlock passwords and computer passwords and other details like this was something I thought of. Would authorities confiscate those things to investigate whether it was a suicide, and would my family get them back? I'm thinking of doing a factory reset so that they can use these things.

First thing is putting EVERYTHING that you would need to explain and won't have a chance once dead:
Art and Personal Stuff: I suggest that instead of leaving a password, you can just pick a pen drive and put the things that you want to be remembered for. If you do art, music, write, or anything like this you can save those there, save the important files in other pendrive, like digital documents and files that you would usually keep safe and just clean your pc, or they'll get too attached to it and if something bad happen with it they'll blame themselves.
Phone: Just save the photos that you like and things like these in the pen drive and factory reset the phone, electronics can break, so if you want them to actually have files you should save in something that can be plugged, copy and paste like a pen drive.
Payments and Documents: Organize all your important documents that they'll need for your obituary. And if there's something that is paid monthly or requires a contract to end the service you can cancel beforehand or leave in a letter that they need to cancel.
Proof of Motive: Since suicide requires to file a police report with the medical one (at least in my country), they'll need to prove that it was a suicide, so make sure to provide an easy way for them (letter with a valid signature) or they'll spend more time without releasing your body for a funeral until they can be sure about it.
Door Letter: If the authorities will be the first to arrive at the local, you can let them know what's happening and tell them your method (if is not an obvious one) with your signature so they can use it as proof and have a way to do everything easily. You can explain that you cleaned your devices, and only let the things you're ok with then taking with you.
Bank account: If you have a small amount of money that you'll leave behind, you can put in an envelop, you can leave the password and bank card but they'll probably won't have the courage to use it for a long time.
Closure: The first thing they'll want to know is why and some will blame themselves, so you can write why CTB was your decision, and remember that letters are for the living not for the dead, so if you want to blame someone be firm about your decision and explain why, and if it wasn't because of someone, just be gentle to those you love and explain that you've fought until you couldn't.
I think this is the important part, the rest you'll be able to pinpoint as you're planning everything.
