4 years agoDo you still need your 2FA device if you use the emergency kit to access your account?
I have a personal account/vault. I have an emergency kit filled out and placed in our safe. If something happens to me, will my spouse be able to access the accounts using the emergency kit even if...

4 years agoHey @drdredsnomo:
Great question! As mrbeign mentioned (thanks for the assist! 😎) this would depend slightly on what situation this was. If your wife was using your Emergency Kit without access to any of your devices where you have added your 1Password account to the 1Password app, she would need your account password, Secret Key, and access to your two-factor authentication app or security key (if you've added a security key as a two-factor authentication option). If your wife would have access to one of your devices however, she would only need the account password to unlock the 1Password app.
Let me know if that helps clarify things!
