Each guide is about one setting. The steps in each guide are short and designed to walk through.

Choose a password manager, turn it on, and write on one sheet of paper the one password you must remember.

Turn on a second step after your Google password and print the backup codes to keep with your will.

Read where Google and Apple send your sign-in codes, and change any phone number or email address no longer yours.

Set a PIN with your phone company and turn on locks that make your phone number harder for a scammer to move.

Place a free credit freeze at Equifax, Experian and TransUnion so nobody can open a new card or loan in your name.

Place a free one-year fraud alert so banks and other lenders check it is really you, and write down the renewal date.

Copy your photos and videos out of your Apple or Google account onto a drive your family can hold.

Name a person who can ask Apple for your photos, messages and notes after you pass away, and print the access key.

Tell Google who to contact and what they may download once your Google Account has gone unused for a time you choose.

Choose whether a Facebook friend you name looks after your profile after you pass away or Facebook deletes the account.
