How to Use a Password Manager to Share Your Logins After You Die (2025)


Your logins will live on after you pass on. Make sure they end up in the right hands.

Here's the advice NordPass gave: “For anyone thinking about digital legacy, the best step is to set up Emergency Access in advance, clearly communicate the use cases of the credentials with your trusted contacts, and follow the terms of service of respective platforms.” Your 1Password Emergency Kit is a PDF that includes instructions for logging in, along with your email address, secret key, and a space for you to write (or type) your master password. Proton Pass, 1Password, and NordPass are my personal favorite password managers, which is why I recommend them over options like Keeper, which also has a digital legacy feature.
