LastPass is the only password manager that I know of that comes with a Dead Man's Switch. (1) (2)
I like the UX of the other password managers more, but I need one I can share with my lawyer so that when I kick the bucket he can take care of things for me.
And I'm sure there are security implications. But, like giving having a neighbor hold on to a spare keys to your house, it's worth the trade off. You have to trust some people -- there are people who can help if you let them.
Anyway, until others have this functionality, it kinda means I'm stuck on LastPass. And that's OK... it's fine.
It's hard to write software for adults and also keep up with the latest and greatest design choices. (Or even design choices from the last 5-8 years, ha!)
But a note to all the other people making password managers... please jump on the "we're all going to die someday" bandwagon. (=
