A possibility to appoint a person, who normally have _no access_ to the project on a daily basis, to take control of it if something happens to me. It could work like the following: - I enter that person’s email - A special, very long password is generated - half of it you give to that person, for example as a printed PDF with a QR code. The second half is stored on Capitally servers. Neither that person, nor Capitally itself can access account by themselves. - You set the inactivity time. If you don’t use Capitally for N weeks or months, we send a series of reminder emails. If you act on them - the inactivity timer is reset. If you don’t - the access for the successor is enabled. - We _don’t_ let the successor know - he/she needs to know they have access. - Once the successor uses their QR code / link / enter their password, if the access is enabled, we check if their half is legit (we don’t receive the half, just the digest to verify) - if yes, we release the our half. Decryption happens only on the client side. - Regardless of the result, we send you an email that an attempt was made - so you know if somebody is trying to get access behind your back 😉 - At any time, you can revoke that access
