    I don't think one a day would be a good idea, because of both the length of the episodes and the depth of discussion that could arise from them. I think a minimum gap of two or three days would be needed to ensure that discussions aren't cut short.

    While I don't know how it is implemented, I believe that it is possible to do securely; when a user enables the emergency access, their passwords could be re-encrypted with a second key (this can be performed locally, so would still be secure). This key would then be stored with the other user's account, and the passwords stored alongside the original copy encrypted with the master password. This method doesn't require Lastpass to be able to decrypt the passwords without the master password.
