In plain words
Passbox is a service that securely stores digital access credentials and personal information, releasing them to designated contacts only after the user's death. It allows people to specify who should gain access to their accounts, documents, and data once they pass away. The service is designed for anyone wanting to ensure their digital assets and important information are managed according to their wishes after they die, without requiring those details to be stored insecurely during their lifetime.
