I came here hoping that the emergency sheet feature was an implementation of Shamir Secret Sharing. That would allow you to give a few sheets to trusted people, which they could combine to reveal your password.

You can do that with any number of utilities, though. Why does it have to be built in to KeePass?

True, but they don't seem obviously inter-operable (at least to non-technical users).

The same parameters input into two online SSSS generators: 3 parts( 2 reqd), secret=hackernews yield different parts.

I want to make it easy to recover. Using the same tool to store the passwords and recover the keys simplifies the process.

That's awesome, I didn't know that algorithm!
