Apple, Google and Meta Platforms are among the tech companies that provide digital-legacy tools to let users bequeath account access to others, but millions of people are poised to change how they log into accounts as FIDO passwordless technology is rolled out.

Alternatively, apps and websites may let you keep a traditional password as a backup.
