I’ve set up emergency access to my password manager and documented my device credentials, account recovery information, and estate-related information.
I’m curious what others have done.
Have you made plans for account access, passwords, 2FA devices, photos, cloud storage, domains, financial assets, online businesses, AI chat histories, and other digital assets?
I feel like I’ve covered the basics, but I’m not confident I’ve thought through all potential edge cases.
All of my passwords and passkeys are in Bitwarden. My brother has emergency access, and I’ve documented in Bitwarden Secure Notes my device credentials, recovery codes, estate information, and instructions for accessing my accounts.
One unresolved issue:
I have private photos of current romantic partners in my iOS Photos hidden album. I want my next of kin to be able to access the rest of my digital life, but I also want to protect those people’s privacy.
As far as I know, Apple doesn’t provide a way to grant next-of-kin access to an account while excluding hidden photos.
My current solution is a note asking my brother to delete the hidden photos before looking through the rest of my account. I trust him to do that, but I’d prefer a technical solution.
Is there a better approach?
