# The Devices Module The FIRM Guide (thefirmguide.com) — companion to The Recoverable Family. Fill this in privately (any text editor or by hand), then store it in your Vault. ## Secure Guide Starter Template — Devices > One Secure Guide entry per device — fill this template once for each device the family owns. Store the entries inside your Vault; update whenever a device is added, changed, or retired. Work device by device: the first two entries are the slowest, and most take only a few minutes once you have the rhythm. - Device Name: - Device Type: - OS / Firmware: - Used By: - Location: - Encryption Enabled?: - If/How Backed Up: - Disposal Plan: - Last Checked / Updated: - Master Password/PIN/Recovery Codes Location: - Tags: ## Family Guide Starter Template — Devices > This template contains no sensitive information. It can be stored with household documents. > In the matching Secure Guide section: full device inventory — one entry per device with backup, encryption, and disposal metadata. > > That detail is what makes recovery possible — and it is protected in the Vault, which opens with The Vault Key. The key is never written here, by design. The people listed on this page know how it is kept, and the steward's job is to keep that path current, so this page never leads to a locked door. - What exists: - Most Important Device(s): - How it is used: - Who manages: - Who to call: ### Additional Guidance
