I am a little biased toward 1Password, and they have a guide that has really good points. But in the end, they say to print out their “Emergency Kit” and store it will your will/estate. So, not much better than leaving a password behind (or any other shared secret). I guess I’ll have to set up some sort of irl treasure hunt…
Comment on What are you doing for digital estate planning?

Yeah this one bothers me. My spouse is clueless about technology and our online accounts. When I did estate planning with my lawyer, they said the paperwork would grant access to everything. My spouse’s grown kids (previous marriage) are tech savvy, which helps.
I’ve thought about leaving instructions and passwords on a USB thumb drive, but that idea has a number of flaws.

In case you hadn’t seen the news.
I’ve been a paying customer and advocate of 1Password for over a decade but I’ve made the switch to something else.

What is the something else? As far as I can tell, all the password managers suck. Just seemed to me that 1Password sucked less.

For me, I narrowed it down to Bitwarden and Proton Pass.
I found it very hard to test both in parallel so I ended up just kind of making a feel-based call. I think either would have been fine, but I don’t think either is as nice as 1Password.
Bitwarden supports transferring passkeys from other password managers (on iOS anyway) but Proton Pass doesn’t. That was going to be the deciding factor for me, but the transfer failed (I believe this was a failure at the OS level; not Bitwarden’s fault) so I ultimately went with Proton Pass because I felt the interface was a little cleaner.

Move to KeePass. It’s simpler in the long run, and they don’t sponsor dirtbags.

Leave instructions and passwords on paper
