1Password Access after Death, Legacy Contacts

Add me to the list. I have the stand-alone paid app, not a membership. I was hoping a membership would include a legacy feature. If 1Password competitors can do it...

@cchuck

Did you see one of our latest beta announcements? Does it help you? https://1password.community/discussion/145445/recovery-codes-for-individuals-beta#latest

Add me to the list of people who’d like this.

My preferred solution would be to provide an email address that I can share with my heirs, along with instructions on what to do once I’m dead: send an email to the address with a predefined code in it.

When this happens, it should notify me that an heir is asking for access to my account, and give me a configurable time period in which to object, maybe 48 hours. If I don’t do that, they get access to data that allows them to access my 1password account.

Does my posting above yours on account recovery help? Here's the link again.

@1P_Tommy Unfortunately, it doesn’t. The crux is this sentence: “ Once created, make sure to store the code in a safe and accessible place outside of this account”

Where should I store it? I don’t have a safe deposit box, and I tend to use 1Password to store my confidential stuff. A mechanism to release it to the right people after I’m gone is the part that’s missing for me.

Gotcha. I'll get that portion before the team. Thanks for clarification.

Emergency access is a huge glaring need. Please add this feature. I switched to 1Password from LogMeOnce for good reasons LMO was glitchy and has a clunky user interface. 1Password is so much better, EXCEPT I'm seriously missing the Emergency Access feature. Obviously a lot of users and potential users agree. Please get this done.

Thanks for the feedback @HudsonOH and welcome to the community.

I have just moved from Bitwarden to 1Password. I find that 1Password is just a little more "polished". The emergency access in Bitwarden, previously mentioned by nNfEfRtqUHrmDWYdocjh is something that did give me some peace of mind. I don't need to rehash the points already made on this string - suffice it to say, printing the Emergency Kit for someone to find after my death poses too many obstacles.

At $10 per year, I can hang on to Bitwarden for this functionality, and then just have my 1Password credentials within Bitwarden.

Thanks @GSK I've shared your comments with the team.
