Ten things your family couldn't find tomorrow
If something happened to you tomorrow, how much of your digital life could the people you trust actually reach? Ten questions, two minutes, nothing to send.
Tick yes or no for each one. Your answers stay on this page and are not sent anywhere: there is nothing to sign up to and we never see them. If you'd rather use a pen, print this page.
-
Does someone you trust know your phone passcode, or where it's written down?
Your phone is the gateway to everything else: verification codes, photos, contacts and messages. Without the passcode, even family with full legal authority may never get in.
-
Is your main email account's login recorded somewhere secure that someone else could find?
Email is the master key: nearly every account you own can be reset through it, and it's where legal and financial correspondence arrives.
-
Are your passwords kept in one secure place, rather than in your head or on scattered scraps of paper?
One secure home, such as a password manager, means nobody has to hunt through notebooks and drawers, and nothing is lost with you.
-
Could someone else list what you pay for every month: the streaming, the software, the memberships?
Without a list, subscriptions are discovered one bank statement at a time, for months, while the money keeps leaving.
-
Does your executor know exactly where your Will and other key documents are kept?
A Will kept at home that nobody can find is as good as no Will. Deeds, certificates and policies are the paperwork needed first.
-
Are your photos and videos backed up somewhere beyond a single phone or a single account?
Photos are among the hardest things to replace and the easiest to lose. A library living only in one place depends entirely on that place.
-
Is every pension you've ever had listed somewhere, including old employer schemes?
Pensions are the easiest thing to lose track of; millions of UK pension pots have lost touch with their owners.
-
Is there a list of who would need telling: banks, pension providers, insurers?
Every one of them has a process for a death. A ready list turns weeks of detective work into a morning of phone calls.
-
Do your social media accounts have a plan: memorialised, deleted, or handed to someone?
Unplanned profiles linger for years: birthday reminders for someone who has died, and an online presence nobody has the authority to resolve.
-
Has one person been asked, and agreed, to handle all of this for you?
Everything above needs someone with the authority and the knowledge to act. Naming them is the start; briefing them is what makes it work.
Your ten answers
The full Digital Life Audit asks 44 questions like these, across seven areas of your digital life, and gives you a personal report: your readiness score, what would happen today, and exactly what to put right, area by area.
What the full audit adds
These ten questions are a taste. The Digital Life Audit covers 44, from your devices and passwords to your subscriptions, finances, messages and wishes, and it doesn't just tell you where the gaps are: every finding comes with a recommended action, written in plain English, and a report you can share with the people who would need it. About thirty minutes, at your own pace, and we never ask for a password, a PIN or an account number.
