Line 39:
Digital inheritance also has beneficial implications for the preservation of society's digital heritage. The passing on of digital estates necessitates that the content of digital assets be preserved either as copies or in its original functioning environment for an heir to receive. Digital inheritance therefore encourages proper [[digital preservation]] practices rather than allowing the content of deceased users to be abandoned and/or eventually deleted. Future generations will then be able to have a better understanding of this society's digital landscape.<ref name=":23" />

===Planning===▼
The need for forward planning of a digital inheritance has been increasingly in the media, and includes deciding what digital assets are heritable, who should inherit them, how they should be notified and how this process should be achieved. The process may include online memorialization.<ref>{{cite web|title=After your final status update|url=http://www.ted.com/talks/adam_ostrow_after_your_final_status_update#t-165405
===Password vaults===▼
There are several services that offer to keep multiple passwords, sending them to designated people after death. Some of these send the customer an email from time to time, prompting to confirm that that person is still alive, and failure to respond to multiple emails makes the service provider assume that the person is deceased, and will disclose the passwords as previously requested. A company may require two verifiers who both must confirm the death, as well as providing a death certificate, before any passwords will be disclosed.<ref name="Duffy2012">{{cite web|last1=Duffy|first1=Jill|date=2012-10-08|title=Get Organized: Passing on Your Passwords|url=https://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2410635,00.asp
===Digital inheritance service===▼
There are services that facilitate passing social accounts and digital cryptocurrencies to the beneficiaries after one's passing. They allow users to connect their social accounts, file storage services, and bitcoin wallets to one "vault". The upside of such approach is that no additional transfer of assets is necessary since transfer is happening on the connected service provider's side, thus reducing risks to the minimum. <ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.sans.org/security-awareness-training/resources/digital-inheritance|access-date=2020-11-02|website=www.sans.org}}</ref>▼
