How does it work?
Once Your PinPal activates the process, an email is sent to both your own registered email address and that of your nominated Verifier. If you reply to the email [within 72 hours] then the process is halted and no information is shared. If no reply is received from you and your Verifier also confirms that you are no longer around, then the App will give your PinPal, all the Username and Password details which you have entered into the system. At this stage your PinPal will then have control of the Accounts as agreed with you.

Your PinPal will be the first point of contact and the person given full access to your information. the Verifier will need to confirm the situation before access to your PinPal is granted, but they wont have access to any of your sensitive information
What if I no longer trust my PinPal or Verifier?
