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...
Hi, I'm also interested a lot in this legacy/emergency access. Bitwarden and Ente have it. For now I'm forced to have this convoluted setup:
- print the Emergency Kit, give it to family members
- I use an open-source third party emergency access service (https://weexpire.org/) to E2EE encrypt a note with my 1Password master passphrase. With a 7 days wait time
- it gives me a link (containing the encrypted note) and an access code that I put in an item "in case of emergency" in a shared vault with my family member/emergency contact
When needed they open the link, provide the access code on the website, wait 7 days, re-open the link, get my master passphrase, use this with my emergency kit they already have to connect to my account.
Clearly not ideal for ease of use
