Digital accounts

Digital account action planner

Turns “what happens to my online accounts” into a per-account decision you have actually made.

The digital legacy score measures where you are. This one is the work: it walks the decisions each category of account needs, so the outcome is a written instruction rather than a good intention. Nothing you enter leaves this page.

Section 1 of 3 · 40% of the score

Identity and access accounts

Have you decided what should happen to your primary email account?

It recovers every other account, so it is the first decision and the biggest one.

Have you decided what happens to your password manager?

Most have a designated-recovery feature. It has to be set up in advance.

Have you decided what happens to the device that receives your verification codes?

Without this, a plan for everything else stalls at the second factor.

Section 2 of 3 · 30% of the score

Accounts holding memories

Have you decided per platform whether to keep, memorialise or close?

Platforms offer different options. Decide once, per platform.

Have you exported anything you would not want to depend on a platform for?

The only decision that survives a platform changing its mind.

Have you said who should receive what?

Photos to one person, writing to another, is a perfectly normal instruction.

Section 3 of 3 · 30% of the score

Accounts that run or cost

Have you listed subscriptions and recurring charges with instructions?

These keep charging a card long after they should have stopped.

Have you said what should happen to domains and hosting?

A lapsed domain is the failure that takes other things down with it.

Have you recorded who should be told, as distinct from who gets access?

Employers, clients and communities usually need telling, not access.

Nothing answered yet. Your score appears once every question has an answer — a part-finished score would measure the questions you skipped.

How this score is worked out

Three sections by account type, because the right action differs completely between an account holding memories, one running something, and one costing money every month.

Every question is yes/no and carries a weight of 1 to 3. A section scores the weight you answered “yes” to as a percentage of its total weight. The overall score combines the section percentages by the section weights shown on each heading, which always total 100, then rounds. Anything you have not answered counts as “no”, so a half-finished assessment always scores lower than the same situation fully answered — the score is never flattered by stopping early.

The score reflects only the answers you gave. It cannot see your documents, your accounts or the rules where you live, so treat it as a prompt for what to check next, not a verdict.

This is a self-assessment, not advice. It scores the answers you gave against a checklist we wrote — it does not see your documents, your accounts or your jurisdiction, and it is not legal, tax or financial advice. What is required varies by country. Treat the score as a prompt for what to look at next, and speak to a qualified professional about your own situation.
