1Password Access after Death, Legacy Contacts
I am not planning to die anytime soon, but sometimes things happen.
Beyond securing my 1Password details in an Escrow account, or with a lawyer, or in a bank lockbox, does 1Password offer any mean...
I believe that Bitwarden has found a good solution here and wanted to make this suggestion available for discussion in the development team.
Bitwarden allows you to define so-called "trusted emergency contacts" via Emergency Access.
They can then request access via their Bitwarden account in an emergency. The trusted emergency contact can then access the grantor's vault after a predefined period of time has elapsed.
During this period, however, the grantor can also cancel this access request (if the request is not permitted and the grantor is still alive, for example).

I am curious to see whether we will soon see another option from 1Password. It has already been announced here and there that this topic is already being discussed internally.
