Inactive Account Manager
Google offers a feature called Inactive Account Manager, which lets you decide what happens to your account if it becomes inactive for a certain period.
ā¢ Set Up Your Inactive Account Manager:
- Go to your Google account settings.
- Select Privacy & Personalization.
- Scroll down to Make a Plan for your Digital Legacy (hand icon) and click Start.
- Follow the steps to set your timeout period, add trusted contacts, and decide what data should be shared or deleted.
Timeline for changes:
We suggest increasing the timeframe to 12 months to ensure your executors have enough time to act.
Trusted contact to notify:
We suggest nominating at least 2 contacts at this section assuming most people will nominate spouse in case you die in a single event.
For the first 2 emergency contacts we suggest selecting all boxed to allow your executors to act without limitation.
