I gave my daughter the master password for 1Password to place in her safety deposit box.
I was under the presumption that if she downloaded the 1Password.app to her Mac, she could then log in with my master password and access all my info. Am I wrong?
If I am wrong, having the admin password to my Mac, she could log onto my Mac, launch 1P, log in and have access to my 1P data. Right???

However now you can't use 2FA to secure your account as she may not have access to your phone if something happened to you. That's the problem that 1P refuses to address by having true emergency access.

BikerBob38 this is one of the possibilities, so long as she also has your email and Account Password -- essentially, having the filled-in Emergency Kit will allow anyone to sign in "as you". Presently, either that or using the Recovery Key would be two of the options available, but the Recovery Key option requires access to the email account tied to your 1Password account.
