We often talk about how to keep our digital accounts secure and safe, but in the case of death, especially unexpectedly, it will be worth your time now to set up a list of important digital account information to be shared with trusted family and friends when necessary.
This type of preparation can you give you peace of mind now, while helping your loved ones during a future mourning period. The first step you can take now is sharing your account logins and other secure information with a password manager and inviting a family member or someone trusted to share vault access. This software can securely store all your account logins plus important contacts and insurance details under virtual lock and key. Secondly, you can record and save emergency information like instructions following your death, security codes like a phone PIN, locations of valuables or critical paperwork, recurring bills or other financial account details. A note or multiple notes can be created for these details within a password manager so everything is stored in one central location. Next you can set up a dead-man switch to alert specified loved ones should you fail to respond to account prompts. You can also enable someone to be in charge of all your social media accounts or to simply be in charge of deleting them.
