I'm not a lawyer so I can't tell you with any confidence if an email with his username and password to his bank account is good enough to pass muster (that said, you SHOULDN'T use email to pass along confidential information but that's another story for another time).

I would concern myself with making sure I was legally protected before continuing to pay his bills.
I have DPOA, giving me the ability to pay all his bills and make financial decisions.
