Recently we had a good friend pass away. Once the grief was passed came the sorting of all the papers, accounts, investments, etc. But it was all on his computer with security checks and passwords. Anyway, if you use an iPhone, Mac computer or iPad you may want to go to Apple support and reed the article about "Apple Legacy Contact" How to add a Legacy Contact for your Apple ID - Apple Support (https://support.apple.com/en-us/102631#:~:text=On%20your%20Mac,or%20your%20Mac%20l ogin%20password). My wife and daughter have mine.

Our daughter has all our passwords, account numbers also has power of attorney.

The hardest part in digital world is passwords change through time along with
accounts open and not registered with somewhere or with someone.

I try to consistently try keep up but it's not easy.

A good example is I copy everything in my wallet.
I get a new credit card, a new driver's license, a new insurance card, then realizing I need to copy and update.

Ha. I had bronchitis over the weekend and could only sit on the couch and doodle on my iPad.
I came across the Apple Legacy setting and set up my kids as the recipients
It then generated an email and notified them. I quickly got to phone calls….😂
Any other Apple settings I should be looking at?
