That delicate balance between password managers and encryption keys where you need to back them up so you don't get locked out, but then you have to encrypt the backups and store the recovery keys encrypted, which means you have to backup those recovery keys encrypted, and then calculate the risk of a hardware failure, loss of account access, etc, along the way. And then you worry about what happens if you should pass and how your survivors will be able to figure out how to access anything.
