Open research on digital legacy. Every claim here links to the vendor's own documentation, and everything we could not verify is listed in the open rather than quietly dropped.
There are exactly two hard questions in this category. Does the provider actually verify that you died — or does it just measure whether you stopped logging in? And can the provider read your data? Almost every product answers one of them well. We have not found one that answers both.
Every digital-legacy service, password manager and platform legacy-contact feature, checked against its own live documentation. Includes the retractions we made to our own earlier drafts.
Fifteen questions about inheritance, passwords, photos and account access — answered properly, once, with sources.
We built a product in this category, so we are not a neutral party. That is precisely why every claim is a link to someone else's words rather than to our characterisation of them. Check them.
If you are a vendor named in this research and think we have described your product wrongly, tell us and we will correct it in the text and record the correction publicly.
Corrections are welcome as an issue on the relevant repository, or through the contact form at cairnvault.app/contact.
