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.
