What happens if someone is in prison for a few years and can't access their email?

This is a good reminder to designate someone access to your accounts if you don't log in after a set amount of time (and now less than 2 years). If you die and someone is relying on you to pay the bills or whatnot, they will need access to that information.

You can also have it set up so that all your data is wiped.

If that’s the case. They probably wouldn’t know this. And if they eventually do?… they probably forgot their passwords.
