auto-enrollment
Default sign-up process
Auto-enrollment is the practice of automatically signing people up for a program or service unless they explicitly opt out.
The term appears most often with retirement plans and insurance: The company's auto-enrollment puts new employees in the 401(k) at 3% unless they decline.
The approach leverages inertia—people who would never bother to sign up often stay enrolled once defaulted in.
