Something I've often wondered about...

I recommend reading about Shamir Secret Sharing. You could have a system setup such that (for example) you give 16 friends each a code and 9 of your 16 trusted friends all have to work together in order to get the original secret.
KXl2h!H (H)
That would tell me that the password is KX12h! plus whatever the base password for H is. My hope is that unless someone was really targeting me, I would be skipped over as not worth the effort.
This way, even if someone broke into 1Password or one of my other password managers, they still wouldn't have the password.
The part I struggle with most, is how/where to store these & Authy/Google Authenticator tokens in a manner that they can be delivered to specific people in the case of my death without decreasing security.
