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...

Hello,

Different companies take different approaches but I hope 1Password will develop a solution for access sharing that covers three cases:

  1. Death
  2. Accident that prohibits a victim to share a password
  3. Memory loss (eg. Alzheimer disease)

I would prefer is simple solution that requires no intervention form 1Password: it can be as easy as a mail that's send to several addresses with instructions and a link to one or more secured passwords when I have not used the 1PW client for a couple of weeks.

For what's it worth: we now use the Password Recovery Code functionality from 1Password. We don't want a burglar to have full access to all passwords because he stole one paper document so our sisters and brothers have part of the recovery key and part of a LUKS encryption key in a closed envelope and a LUKS encrypted SD card with an export of the password manager, an export of all 2FA codes, recovery codes, recovery files etc. etc.

Thanks.
