  "textContent": "Okay maybe it’s my own background tainting my experience but I see a lot of people here asking “what’s this for?” and “this is just Shamir’s Secret” (btw this thread is the first time I’ve ever heard of that) or “why would I trust some random website?” and I think a lot of people here are overlooking the most obvious scenario: **what if you get hit by a bus tomorrow?**\n\ncontent warning, tl;dr: my mom passed away suddenly (click for more details)\n\nI have a very distinct memory of her saying right before they put her under “Nate knows the password my Bitwarden account.” I swear I question my own sanity because it seems so weird of a detail to care about but I remember it _because_ it was so weird and also because I remember thinking “…I do? Whatever, now’s not the time to worry about that.” Needless to say though, I clearly should’ve asked lol. We never were able to get into her Bitwarden, and because my mom was relatively young (not even 60 yet) we had never gotten around to “hey mom, you should really set up a legacy contact for Bitwarden.” We always thought we’d have more time. (Which is weird cause death was never an off-limits topic in my family.)\n\nAnyways, all that to say that 2of3 - or whatever similar tool you can find - is perfect for this exact scenario. We’re all gonna die someday, and not all of us will have the luxury of going “welp, I’m getting up there in years, I guess I should start putting my affairs in order.”\n\nA common concern with planning for this stuff is “how can I make it so that my loved ones have access to all my stuff but I don’t have to worry about them taking advantage of it while I’m still here?” Some people hire lawyers and safe deposit boxes and stuff. Sure, that’s fine, but I don’t have that kind of money. Some people use the legacy contact in Bitwarden, 1Password, or Proton Pass. That’s also great. But what if you prefer KeePass? Or what if you have other things that a person would need that aren’t covered by the legacy feature? Or honestly, what if you just don’t want that person to have to wait a whole-ass week? A week is a long time when it comes to this kind of stuff. Usually the funeral is about a week after the death. I don’t want my wife to have to wait a whole week to get access to funds, insurance, paying bills, etc.\n\nI know others have made similar tools and there’s more than one way to skin a cat, but for a lot of people with lower threat models this is quick, free, and user-friendly. That was my first thought when I saw this. Again, probably informed by my own experiences.",
