In 2017, I helped develop key recommendations for planning your digital legacy. These include:

creating an inventory of accounts and assets, recording usernames and login information, and if possible, downloading personal content for local storage

specifying preferences in writing, noting wishes about what content should be preserved, deleted, or shared – and with whom

using password managers to securely store and share access to information and legacy preferences

designating a digital executor who has legal authority to carry out your digital legacy wishes and preferences, ideally with legal advice

using legacy features on available platforms, such as Facebook’s Legacy Contact, Google’s Inactive Account Manager, or Apple’s Digital Legacy.
