Before you start

Open the relevant account dashboard and verify dates, contacts, devices, owner roles or payment settings from the provider record.

Evidence to save

Keep confirmation numbers, screenshots or support messages when the change affects payments, account access or recovery.

When to pause

If account records conflict, stop and verify with the official provider before changing autopay, joint-owner access or recovery settings.

Checklist

  1. List the accounts that rely on passkeys, trusted devices or password-manager recovery contacts.
  2. Confirm each emergency contact can still receive messages and understands the recovery role.
  3. Verify backup devices, recovery codes or provider-approved recovery methods before replacing a primary device.
  4. Remove contacts, devices or passkeys that no longer belong to trusted people or current hardware.
