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?

Can you tell me then what do I have to do in order to allow someone to gain access to my 1Password account when I die?

If they have my log-in data and my secret key, will that do it?

    In the event of your passing your estate would need 3 things. The email address you used, your password and your Secret Key. 

    I've taken it a step further and maintain my recovery code for the family as well. In addition to that I also have my email accounts password recorded in my safety deposit box. Mine are me just being overly concerned about my family at that time. All that should be needed is the email address, Secret Key and account password provided all data is stored in 1Password.
