I almost died the other day.
Would it be a smart idea to backup my keepass file, stick it in a USB stick or two, and drop it in my families' safety deposit box at the bank?
How likely is it for the database to become corrupt? I already had a few scares when the database was opening and it took a few minutes even though it only holds 10 passwords.
Of course I'd only tell a trusted family member the password.

Google has a deadman switch for accounts. Store it on Google drive.
will look into that, thanks. here's some gold, fellow redditor.
What do you own that is important for a family member?
so unless you are planning to access your data from Heaven *chuckle* what does it matter?

Don't you have a backup HDD or cloud backup?
As part of my folders backed up, Keepass database is amongst them, so naturally keepass is safe due to the backup plan.
They have amazing stamina, you should definitely consider it.

No, the contents on flash memory only last for a limited time (about 10 yrs as far as I remember). Use a HDD or even a CD or DVD.
How the fuck are you using KeePass? Just on one PC?
Keep your database in the cloud, specifically on Google Drive. The database is encrypted, so no one can access without knowing your password. Plus, Google is the most fucking secure cloud service on this planet.
My database is on my Google drive, and I can access it on my PC and Android devices giving me full cross platform convenience.
For Android, I use the Cover art

On my PC, I use the Firefox Kee plugin
addons.mozilla.org
Plus I have the KeePass Google Sync Plugin installed in my KeePass client on PC. This syncs all passwords with your database stored on Google drive.

You literally have one job. If you're that mentally disabled you shouldn't worry about your security anyways. You are fucked.
upload the database on some cloud based service like google drive or dropbox
and store the key locally so the botnet can't track you
DO NOT tell your passwords to ANYONE. The second you entrust a 3rd party with information you surrender control of it, plain and simple.
Shard the password - give only one part to each person, and amend your will to say who has the passwords so they can find each other

Not OP, I had issues with this and it creating lock files. I ended up just doing it with the Google Drive client running in the background.
If you forget one password I'd like to see you do better with multiple.
but how did you almost died, OP?
May as well ask this here:
I'm doing a project with a microbusiness and i'm trying to improve their security.
They've been storing a single master passwords sheet on the cloud (OneDrive) in the form of an excel file and I want to split it into 3 different files with additional encryption.
What's a good and ideally free encryption tool that a microbusiness with fairly low IT aptitude would be able to use? I'm considering Boxcryptor.
Why do you care? You are dead it seems kinda pointless.
Get your own deposit box print out passwords, recovery codes, everything you want your family to have access to in an emergency. Give the key to either a lawyer or a trusted family member. That's the best option period. Flash drives fail without warning and can lose their contents really fast without regular power. A HDD also loses it's data over time but slower but is still not ideal at all. Upload encrypted backups of your database to various cloud services and get a deposit box and you'll be more than fine.
Get them on a password manager. Don't fuck around with different files. Work them till they agree to use a team focused password manager. Yes they exist, yes there are excellent open source and free ones available. Then you can worry about a backup strategy for the single database file. It will make their and your life MUCH easier. Done the same thing for two family friends companies. Zero complaints after people got settled in.
Anyone have any suggestions for a good cross-platform (Mac and Windows most important) password manager that can sync to a key DB in Google drive? Keepass doesn't work on Mac, have to use Macpass which doesn't have plugins.

Thanks, I'll start looking into this. I was already concerned that fucking around with 3 files might be a bit much for them (they're struggling enough with just the one).
It's really a gift from the heavens. Good luck with it.

Is there any way to share groups with people using KeePass?
Use a proper OS
