I need to make sure my wife and/or people with a Power of Attorney can access my financial & health records & related apps, if I become incapacitated

    Hi there TadCrawfordMV, :)
    Does your wife use 1Password too? If you have a Families account, an option would be having financial info and other such important things be placed in a shared vault both of you have access to.

    Thank you, Corey. Very helpful!

    I have not yet created an account, but am actively assessing that option. We currently share documents using Dropbox, but I want something far more secure for our financial and medical information. This may include our Health Care Proxies and Powers of Attorney, in addition to our passwords. Will we have the ability to share individual documents differently, i.e. with different people . . . in much the same way one can with documents stored in Dropbox?

    In 1Password Family, you can create additional vaults, and you can control which family members can access the new vaults. You cannot control access to individual documents other than by choosing which vault you place them in.

  • @TadCrawfordMV: To add to the wonderful suggestions from @learning_1pw and @Corey_C, your 1Password account also comes with an Emergency Kit that includes all of the information you need to sign in to your account (minus your Master Password which you'll need to add yourself). If you keep a copy of your Emergency Kit in a safe place where those you want to be able to access your account can get it in an appropriate situations, this information would allow them to access your data from any computer. :+1:
