Suggestions for secured data sharing

[krooton]

Realising that my wife and I take care of different aspects of our day-to-day existence, I figured it would be a good idea to set up a shared, cloud-based repository of all the important things we'd need to know.

Eg. She takes care of everything pet related, vet details, vax schedules, pet insurance. I manage our energy supplier, internet, mortgage.

Having a centralised place where we can have all the relevant logins, account numbers, passwords, etc for all these different things would make it much easier to deal with it all should anything horrible happen to either of us.

A Google sheet was my first idea, but those can't be password protected as far as I can tell, and given this will need to have logins/passwords for various things, I'd want it to be secure.

Another option could be a new email address that we both have access to, just unsure if we can each have our own MFA.

Open to any other ideas that people know of or use themselves.

use a google authenticator, like with OC, to both access shared drive on google account, where you place document locally encrypted (with pre-shared password) using 7-zip ?
would need a strong discipline for versioning changes within the file itself.

I have a separate email address, that way when people send us emails or we need to do password resets etc it's all in the same place.

We don't put passwords in there though, we store those independently in our own password managers. Having said that, if we can't get into one of the accounts it's trivial to reset the password using the email.

Do you use iOS? My wife and I use our apple family account, which allows us to specify shared passwords in the password app. For things which aren’t logins, I still save them and add things in the note section etc.

I used to use 1password but this way just works.

This is something I have been thinking about recently as Ive just made my first will. currently all my passwords are stored in BitWarden, so I guess I should just give the people I need to the username/password for that and be done with it. Mine isnt the same as OP as I dont have another half who might need access when Im alive, so it would be for if I was to die.

We use a 1password family account for exactly this, you can have your own separate private vault each, but also shared areas so you can have all the household bills etc. in there
