1Password Access after Death, Legacy Contacts - when available?

Hi, 

as the posts from old forum-software is missing here again the question but within the new forums.

What's the status concerning the topic? When will we get the feature? Any update?

    I hope this is a feature that 1Password is working on.  I have built a "Digital Legacy" plan using 1Password, but the methods of accessing it after my death are complex and not greatly secured while I am alive (share half secret key with Person1; share half secret key with Person 2; share Account Password with Person3).  I then direct let them know "the plan" in my death.

    Spouse will reach out to Person 1 & 2 to get the full secret key.  They already have the password and my email address, so they can then access it.

    I have a *** READ FIRST UPON DEATH *** note at the top of my vault with links to all of the key documents are logins (banks, insurance, "how to be me" (bills I pay, beneficiaries, etc).

    At present there is no movement that I know of. The best place to stay up to date on new features is here.
