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...
Well my solution is to use LP until 1P implements it. :)
The history of security breaches of LastPass is a knockout criterion for LastPass. Even if it provides some very valuable feature, the service is simply not secure. It cannot be used, if you really value security. If I had been an LP customer, I would have canceled and deleted my account the day their last big breach became public a year and a half ago. No matter their shiny user interface.
The two workarounds 1Password provides by either printing emergency kit, password and mfa qr code or printing the recovery code and ensure you're not losing email access by also printing the email password and email mfa QR code of that might seem tedious, but this will work.
The problem is that the password service must distinguish the rightful owner of an account from an attacker who attempts account recovery using stolen information to gain access to the account. Today, common account recovery is performed by still having some secret, while other secrets have been lost or compromised. Legacy access for your heirs is no different. It's required the service distinguishes your heirs from some attacker who gained the same information that's available to your heirs.
