Your own handover
You set up the wifi, the photo backup and the password manager. If something happened to you, would anyone else know where things are? This puts that right while you can still explain it.
The setup, then a yearly check that it is still right.
What you get
A written list of what you look after
Every device, account, backup and subscription, and what each one is for. Written so that someone who is not technical can follow it.
Proper access for the next person
We help you turn on what already exists for this: emergency access in your password manager, a legacy contact on your Apple account, and the inactive account settings on your Google account.
A one page letter
One page your family can follow on the day: who to call, where the list is kept and what to do first.
Your passwords stay with you
We never see or hold your passwords. You keep the list. We show you how to store it so the right person can reach it and nobody else can.
A yearly check
Once a year we go through the list with you and bring it up to date. That is what the £6 a month pays for.
How it goes
Tell us what you look after
A rough list is fine. We fill in the gaps together.
Write it down
On a call, we go through everything and write the list and the letter.
Set up access
You turn on the access features with us on the call, and choose who they point to.
Check it each year
Things change. Once a year we go through it again and correct it.
Have this ready
- An hour or two when you will not be interrupted
- Your password manager, if you use one
- The name of the person you would hand over to
- A rough idea of what is in the house and what is online
What a handover is not
- It is not a will and it gives nobody legal authority. Your executor still needs probate
- We do not store your passwords or your data
- It cannot make a provider hand over an account. It makes sure your family knows which accounts exist and how to ask
Questions
Is this only for people who work in IT?
No. It is for whoever the rest of the family asks when something stops working.
What if I do not use a password manager?
Then that is where we start. We help you choose one and move into it as part of the setup.
Can I stop the monthly payment?
Yes, at any time. The list and the letter are yours to keep.
