LastPass has a “dead man switch” where my wife (authorized by me) can request access to my account and if I don’t respond for a month she gets it.

That means that LastPass themselves can access your account contents at any time, too.

That's an accident waiting to happen.

Not really. LastPass doesn't need a copy of the key for this to be secure. Only the person you have authorized needs a copy.
