Description
If Required is a private place to leave the people you love the practical information and personal messages only you know. Phone passcodes, computer access, where family photos are backed up, important documents, account instructions, who to call, and the things you'd want to say. If something happens to you, trusted contacts confirm before anything is released. It’s not a password manager or a will. It’s for the things your family would otherwise be left trying to figure out.
