“Everybody wants to go heaven but nobody wants to die”
This is very true, whatever we talk about our life and death, but death really scares us. We went live till the end! But we have to leave this beautiful world someday. May be I will die in between writing this article! But being a Geek or a normal person what really matter is what to do with my online account after my death? As you no longer be able to access internet from heaven or hell, I am not sure as Steave Jobs may work with his Mac book now.
So one thing is clear that you don’t want that someone access your account after your death!! As the online account, including social networking site does not value if someone else run. I am sure that you want to deactivate your social account after your death or you want to share your account, including your Gmail, photos, documents and whatever you have on Google drive to a trusted friend or family or your wife/husband. But how to configure this as a social networking site does not know either you alive or dead.
For this problem, Google recently launched a service called “Inactive Account Manager ” which gives user to configure what to do with your Google account when you will die. You just need to configure or set up when will your Google account will go to inactive mode. Till now Google is providing four options to set up
1. Timeout period:
This is like timer set up, if you set 1 months and you are not singed Google account over 1 months, then your Google account will be terminated as inactive accounts.
2. Alert me:
You can set up any mobile or another email so that Google will alert your your Google account termination.
3. Notify contacts and share data:
You can add trusted people like friends or family to share your data and they will get this notification after your termination of Google Account.
4. Optionally deletes the account:
If you don’t want that your account will go inactive mode that you can choose this to fully delete your Google Account.
Just configure your parameters according to your needs and click on Enable to save the setting. Though this is a nice move by Google, but still some things are missing like I want an option that will delete your account after some time period of inactive mode. Hope Google will add this soon. So till now try this Google Inactive Account Manager to make your Google account inactive or delete after your death. Now ask your friend What You Will Do With Your Google Account When You Will Die??
