1Password Access after Death, Legacy Contacts

I also need this feature. I switched from Lastpass and didn’t even checked id it existed, it just was so obvious for me.

Please please implement this.

Like many others have posted, I moved from LastPass and this is the only feature that 1Password is lacking. So, add me to the chorus of users requesting this. Thanks.

Just a placeholder to make sure I don't get dropped in the transition to the new support environment.

I’ve been actually working on this whole project when I stumbled over this discussion. Everything I’ve been trying to do would be cured with a proper and secure legacy access person assigned. I sure hope someone gets this project evolving as soon as possible.!

I've merged your discussion with the previous subject matter.

Hello,

Different companies take different approaches but I hope 1Password will develop a solution for access sharing that covers three cases:

1. Death
2. Accident that prohibits a victim to share a password
3. Memory loss (eg. Alzheimer disease)

I would prefer is simple solution that requires no intervention form 1Password: it can be as easy as a mail that's send to several addresses with instructions and a link to one or more secured passwords when I have not used the 1PW client for a couple of weeks.

For what's it worth: we now use the Password Recovery Code functionality from 1Password. We don't want a burglar to have full access to all passwords because he stole one paper document so our sisters and brothers have part of the recovery key and part of a LUKS encryption key in a closed envelope and a LUKS encrypted SD card with an export of the password manager, an export of all 2FA codes, recovery codes, recovery files etc. etc.

Thanks.

Agree with all re: the need for this seemingly obvious feature. I was a LastPass user for years. Spent weeks researching a replacement. Purchased NordPass and got surprised by problems triggering on several sights. Swallowed the 2 year NordPass subscription, deleted it, and purchased 1Password. Never even thought to check on the Emergency Access aspect. Assumed all the major players had it. Shame on me. What a major disappointment!

+1 requesting the 1Password team raise the priority to implement this feature. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to post thoughtful comments. You've taught me a great deal.

This is too important for me. When 1Password gets this functionality, it may give me reason to come back. For now, I have moved to Bitwarden. They have a great tool for this.

Hi, I'm also interested a lot in this legacy/emergency access. Bitwarden and Ente have it. For now I'm forced to have this convoluted setup:
- print the Emergency Kit, give it to family members
- I use an open-source third party emergency access service (https://weexpire.org/) to E2EE encrypt a note with my 1Password master passphrase. With a 7 days wait time
- it gives me a link (containing the encrypted note) and an access code that I put in an item "in case of emergency" in a shared vault with my family member/emergency contact

When needed they open the link, provide the access code on the website, wait 7 days, re-open the link, get my master passphrase, use this with my emergency kit they already have to connect to my account.

Clearly not ideal for ease of use
