share my passwords in my absence

How can I share all my passwords (in iCloud Keychain) with someone in case something happens to me?


Keychain requires Face Id... so if I´m no longer around or something happens to my phone how can other family members access my passwords?

Sharing your Keychain:

Don't share your passwords. It's unwise to do so. If something were to "happen to you", have your family member(s) perform the following...

Managing a Deceased Family Member's Device:

Transfer Ownership:

  1. Transfer ownership of your son's Apple Account to whomever's account.* If his device were synced with iCloud, then you may be able to get it from is iCloud Drive, rather than directly from a device.
  2. Contact Apple Support, seeing if you can get the info.
