You built this. You maintain it. Everyone in the house depends on it and nobody else understands it. If you were unavailable for a month — or permanently — could the people who live with your lab get their photos back, keep the heating on, and know what to switch off? Answer these and take away a letter they can actually follow.

Never write a password into this page. Write down where the credentials live and who is allowed to open it — an emergency kit in a fire safe, a password manager's recovery contact, a sealed envelope with a solicitor. A handover note listing secrets is a breach waiting to happen; one that says where the keys are is exactly right.

The questions that matter
