Losing access to email accounts, cloud storage, or banking services is one of the most common problems families face when a loved one dies. Large tech platforms have strict and bureaucratic policies to allow account recovery.
1. The problem of unannounced account closures
Platforms like Google or Apple have inactivity policies that automatically delete accounts if no login is detected for 1 or 2 years. If you have not set up a legacy contact or a safekeeping service like TestaDigi, thousands of photos and valuable documents can be irreversibly deleted.
2. Password managers and security keys
The most effective way to ensure your family doesn't lose key accesses is to use a password manager and store the master key or recovery phrases in a scheduled encrypted message. In this way, in case of any eventuality, your designated heir will receive the access key confidentially.
3. The preventive solution with TestaDigi
Creating a scheduled message on TestaDigi takes less than 5 minutes. You can set an inactivity timer (e.g., 30 or 60 days) that automatically renews every time you unlock your smartphone or log in. If for any reason you stop confirming your activity, the platform will send your private instructions 100% securely to your chosen contacts.
