Who Gets Your Laptop When You Die? Making a Contingency Plan for Your Digital Life
Who gets your laptop when you die? And even if they know how to unlock it, what will they find? If you become incapacitated, will someone be able to access your medical and insurance info?
How can the important people in your life get the digital assets they need without you compromising your personal security?
Our lives are now overwhelmingly digital, yet many of us have no plan for what happens to our accounts, devices, and data in an emergency. The same security measures that protect our life’s work become an impenetrable barrier for those who may need to manage our affairs. Without preparation, the people we trust most may be left scrambling to access critical information as they navigate an already stressful situation. Having lived through this situation, and with my background in cybersecurity, I want to share my story and help you learn from the mistakes.
In this session, we’ll walk through practical, easy-to-implement strategies for creating a personal digital emergency plan– one that protects your security while still allowing trusted people to access what they need when it really matters. You’ll walk away with concrete ideas for managing your 2FA intelligently, adding legacy contacts, safely sharing password vaults, and organizing critical information. My goal is to give you tools and knowledge to prepare your digital life for the unexpected.
Emergencies are stressful, but preparing for them doesn’t have to be. With a little planning, you can create a system that protects both your privacy and the people who depend on you.
