When a person dies, they increasingly leave behind numerous accounts on the internet for their relatives: Profiles on social media platforms, streaming services and much more. Dealing with this digital legacy is usually a difficult issue for the bereaved. To solve this social problem, Userwill advises hospice staff and private individuals on a voluntary basis and is testing an app based on the latest possibilities in cryptography, e-ID development and register modernisation.
