One idea this inspired me with is to create a single html file which contains both the code to assemble a SSS secret (from other HTML files or the base64 encoded secrets). The key thing that I think would help SSS work is to bundle both the secret part and the code to decode it in combination with the other parts. Said code should also be easy to run for the foreseeable future which is why HTML and JavaScript is a good choice.

I've been trying to come up with a good way to give my loved ones access to my KeePass vault in case I am incapacitated/dead. ssss for the password isn't great because I don't want something complicated and error prone.

My usual method for syncing my vault is to use Google Drive and this method would work well with this since I can just give said family members access to the encrypted vault but send the keys individually. Since I don't rotate the password on this vault, these partial keys only need to be sent once.

I don't need anything too complicated. I just need to be able to set it up such that any two of my trusted love ones can access this vault in an emergency.
