How to set up your legacy contacts

 

Apple requires proof of death and an access key to access.


  • On an iOS device, go to Settings > [your name] > Password & Security.

  • On a Mac, go to System Preferences > Apple ID > Password & Security.

  • Under Legacy Contact, follow the instructions to add a Legacy Contact. If you use Family Sharing, you can choose a family member from the list; alternatively, add someone using their email or phone number.

  • Notify your Legacy Contact and share an access key via Messages. If they accept, a copy of the access key is automatically stored in their Apple ID settings. If they decline, you will receive a notification.

  • The access key is required to get into your account if you pass away. [Source: VERGE].
