What made me choose bitwarden is the emergency access feature.
It allows to designate someone as an emergency contact. This person can request access to your vault and if you don’t deny the request then they will have access after x days.
This way, if something happens to me then someone in my close family can still access my account.
I got the case recently with my brother in law who got into an accident and thanks God his laptop was not locked so my sister could access his accounts.
Because if not it can be a nightmare ! Having to deal with all the utilities company, harassing you because you did not pay the bill that arrived on a locked email account, then not being able to pay the bill anyways because you have to connect on they website … on top of getting your husband and the father of your child in the hospital in a coma.
This is a very good point. I’ve often wondered about a safe and secure method of getting my important passwords to a family member in the unfortunate event that something should happen to me.
That said, I’m very sorry to hear about your brother-in-law.
