Getting started: the 30-minute setup
Cover your password manager, Google, Apple, and your phone: the four accounts that unlock nearly everything else.
Setting up your recovery circle
Choosing the people, picking a template, and avoiding the correlated-death trap.
Printing and distributing your kit
The print-at-home kit: what's on each card, how to print it safely, and how to hand it out.
Running a fire drill

For your family, later
What the people you leave behind will actually see and do.

The repository, mirrors, licenses, and format specifications.
Security & threat model
