Google launches tool to help users plan for digital afterlife
Permalink  
 


I wouldnt use the Google tool myself because they are

about 5 years tuu late but I can see where it would

be very useful. When Mrs Krink passed away she had

a shitload of accounts including Facebook and Yahoo and

many more. It took me months to get the "digital afterlife"

ascertained and then the next year to remove about

90% of it. Sure there are some traces of her still in

the digital world. The whole nature of the internet

password is to protect yourself and so most peoples

squirrel it away in a place hard to find. So following up

on a passed on person who is actively on the net can

be a real challenge.
