Resource access requires account credentials. Without login access, all infrastructure becomes inaccessible. Upgrade to Team plans with multiple owners for critical infrastructure. Add trusted team members with appropriate roles (Admin, Billing, Developer). Document all resources, credentials, and access procedures. What happens to running droplets and managed services? Running droplets and managed services continue operating and generating charges indefinitely. Bills accumulate until payment fails, then Digital Ocean suspends services and may delete data. Document monthly costs, running resources, and shutdown procedures. Provide billing access to prevent service disruption. How do I transfer Digital Ocean team ownership? Team ownership requires Owner role access. Add multiple Owners to prevent single points of failure. Document team structure, project organization, billing details, and resource tagging. Without succession planning, teams become inaccessible and infrastructure may be orphaned or deleted. What happens to SSH keys, API tokens, and database credentials? SSH keys, API tokens, and database passwords cannot be recovered without account access. Applications depending on these credentials will fail. Document all credentials separately in secure estate planning documents. Rotate credentials to shared team-managed secrets for critical infrastructure. {/* Letter Signature - Team avatars, names, and brand tagline */} Warmly, {/* Team Signatures - Circular avatars with initials */} JP L CJ 8 S JP, Luca, CJ, 8, and Summer {/* Brand tagline - Small logo and mission statement */} • We help connect the present to the future.
