A heated discussion between Proton cult followers versus those that openly “dare” to think for themselves and be critic of some of their weird choices Very off-topic.
But to the point, I read the news when they launched the emergency access, and I’m afraid I won’t use it. It doesn’t help me since none on my close family have a Proton account. And even if they open one just for this, they might just forget about it many years from now when the time comes, so the end result would be the same. Not only because Proton disables “inactive” free accounts but also because that since they won’t use it, many years down the road they might not even remember or have the credentials to access it.
I’m not concerned about my wife since I share a password manager with her and she has access to all my credentials (i know that’s not normal but we have built such a strong relationship that allows for this).
However, if we both die together (or within a short time frame) I do need to make sure that my kids or my siblings have access to my passwords (and the encryption keys of some of my sensitive data).
Unfortunately, the way Proton decided to implement emergency access doesn’t solve that for me.
I’m curious as how are other people handling this? Maybe some ideas might help.
