Commemoration account

Twitter does not currently allow the transformation of a deceased person's account into a memorial account.

 

Delete the deceased's account

➡ If you have the deceased's access codes

          On your computer

  • Log in to your account.
  • In the menu bar on the left, click on More.
  • A drop-down menu appears; click on Privacy settings.
  • A new page will appear, click on Deactivate account in the right column at the bottom of the page.
  • Click on Deactivate.
  • Enter the password and click on Deactivate to confirm the unsubscription.

 

Twitter

           On your mobile

  • Open the Twitter application.
  • Click on the profile picture at the top left of the screen.
  • Click on settings and privacy.
  • Click on account.
  • Click Deactivate your account.
  • Click on Deactivate.
  • Confirm the account password.

 

Your account is then disabled for 30 days and if, after this period, you do nothing, the account will be permanently deleted.

 

➡ If you do not have the deceased's access codes

                        If you do not have the access codes but want the deceased's account deleted, twitter can work with you if you are a person authorized to act in the estate or have proven that you are a close family member.

In this case, you can ask Twitter to delete the account here. Once we have received your request, twitter will send you an email with the documents you need to provide about the deceased, such as :

  • A copy of your identity card
  • The person's death certificate

Twitter certifies that information that you will provide them will remain confidentialThe only purpose of these data is to prevent fraudulent applications. These will be deleted after they have been verified.

 

However, Twitter cannot provide account login information regardless of the relative's relationship.

This is why, if the deceased had chosen to pass on his or her digital heritage to you by registering on Legapass, you would have had access to the account without any difficulty and would have been able to retrieve certain information before proceeding to delete the account.

Don't leave your loved ones with such complications by simplifying their access to your digital data. Don't wait any longer: create your Legapass account !
