Best for: One person who wants the six-digit security codes, emergency access for a loved one and checks on their password safety.

Families

What you get by choosing Families

Same on both

built-in security codes (included), letting someone in if something happens to you (included), storage for documents and files (5 gb), checks on how safe your passwords are (included), sharing passwords with your family (included).
