Recovery strategy for family members on different accounts

dsm363

I tried searching for this but am not sure what process is here. I have my own individual 1Password account. I have family in a different state with their own family account.

I have my secret key and know my Master Password. Is the best strategy to FedEx them a copy of my emergency kit so they have it as a backup? I saw the recovery process but that seemed to be only for the business account or the Family account. I wasn't sure if there was a way to add a family member on a different account as the backup person to act as the organizer to start the recovery process if I didn't have access for some reason.

Thanks.

Hi @dsm363!

I have a question for you: have you considered joining your family's 1Password Families account too, so you could benefit from the recovery process? Because right now your account is completely separate, so the only way for them to access it in an Emergency Kit is to make sure they have access to your Emergency Kit, as you said.

I’ll check it out. Looks like that’s a good option.
