Giving a trusted person access to your passwords in case of emergency

I recommend using Bitwarden as your password manager for its Emergency Access feature.

How it works:

• A trusted person requests access to your vault, sending an email notification to your email.
• After a configurable wait time, if you have not responded to the request (because, for example, you have died), the trusted person is granted access.

It is a Dead man's switch.

1Password's only recovery solution is the Emergency Kit. You write all of the information requried to access your vault on a piece of paper and store it somewhere secure. It is not a bad solution and is certainly better than nothing. It would, however, not be very good if this piece of paper fell into the wrong hands. You passwords (including your 1Password master password) could be changed before you even became aware of the breach, which would be difficult if not impossible to remedy. 1Password users have for some time been requesting a feature similar to Bitwarden's but there is no indication that one is forthcoming.
