1Password Access after Death, Legacy Contacts
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...
The whole point -is- the emergency contact should have the account with the service, this way -your- login/pw/key don't have to be written down. Your vault transfers to their account with proper Emergency access. No paper w/ password, more secure and clean that way.
And there's the rub. If this is the way that it needs to work, an emergency contact would need to have a 1password account. Since 1Password does not offer a free version, they would need to pay for a service that they may not use.
The idea would be that this is available to people within your family plan group, which makes the cryptography of it work, so you would just add them to your family plan so there is no out of pocket cost to them. Presumably you are likely to make another family member the emergency contact.
Either way, if you trust the person to access to your 1P account, I would assume they are using a PW manager anyway :)
