Managing account access properly helps prevent security risks and lost assets. Here are the key things to keep in mind when organizing your passwords and digital accounts.

• A password manager simplifies security: Using a secure password manager helps keep all your logins organized and reduces the risk of forgotten credentials.
• Estate planning should include digital access: Make sure trusted individuals can access critical accounts in case of an emergency or after your passing.
• Two-factor authentication (2FA) needs a backup plan: If an account uses 2FA, document recovery options so it can still be accessed if needed.
• Certain accounts may need to be transferred or closed: Social media, subscription services, and financial accounts often have policies for handling accounts after death.
• Keeping passwords updated is essential: Regularly review and update your password list to remove outdated or unused accounts.
