What are the steps for starting the Merging Process of a Data Backup plan: SafeKey Pro - Merge Authority - Plan owner?

  1. Use a computer and go to one of the options:

    • Your plan overview in the Inheriti platform.

    • Login page of the Inheriti platform on another device than the device your SafeKey Mobile app is on, and click on Merge Inherit plan button. If you happen to be logged in to your Inheriti account at that time, please log out and go to the login page.

    • app.inheriti.com/merge.

  2. Open the plan you want to merge and click the Merge button.

  3. Select the beneficiaries you wish to involve in the merging and activate the countdown for the plan trigger(s).

  4. Validate all the plan triggers within their specified time duration.

  5. Once you have received the confirmation email that all plan triggers are validated, go back to the overview of the steps in the merging process on the Inheriti platform on the same device you started the merging proces, and:

    • Send automated email requests to the SafeKey Mobile shareholders to join the merging by uploading their share online.

    • Personally contact the SafeKey Pro heirs to have their SafeKey Pro devices physically present to connect to your computer at the time of the merging.

    • Add your own share as Merge Authority:

      • Connect your SafeKey Pro to the computer, enter PIN code.

      • Place finger on SKP to confirm release.

    If the plan owner did not respond to all the triggers, you will receive an email that the merging proces is aborted.

  6. Once the minimum required number of shares is uploaded, the merging process is completed. Choose the desired timeframe for the plan to be unlocked and for the secret data to be visible. When the chosen timeframe elapses, the plan will close and the merging process can be initiated anew.
