Japan's National Consumer Affairs Center has urged citizens to engage in "digital end of life planning" to avoid complications regarding subscriptions and digital legacies after death.
The Center highlights the challenges faced by families when trying to cancel ongoing subscriptions of deceased loved ones, predominantly due to lack of access to user accounts and credentials.
Practical steps suggested include maintaining lists of subscriptions and passwords, designating access for heirs, and storing this information securely for future reference.
Innovative services like "Dead Man's Switch" apps and Meta's legacy contacts aim to alleviate the burdens of managing digital affairs after loss, providing necessary support.
