🧠 Problem Title: Digital Dark Inheritance: Lack of Awareness About Ownership and Transfer of Digital Assets
📝 Problem Description

In the modern digital age, people increasingly store important information, memories, financial records, and accounts online through smartphones, social media platforms, cloud storage, digital wallets, and subscription services. However, it is often observed that many individuals do not plan or maintain proper access arrangements for their digital accounts and assets.
In some situations, family members may face difficulty accessing important digital information after a person becomes inactive, loses account access, or passes away. Passwords, online records, digital documents, photographs, or account ownership details may remain inaccessible.
I have observed growing dependence on digital platforms while awareness about long-term digital account management and access responsibility appears limited. As digital lifestyles expand, unmanaged digital assets may create confusion, loss of information, or practical difficulties for families.
This problem highlights the gap between rapid digital adoption and awareness regarding responsible digital asset management. Better awareness and safer digital planning practices may become increasingly important in the future.
