Quick decision
I need a password manager for the whole family
Multiple people, one shared vault for household accounts, individual vaults for each person's private credentials. At least one family member is non-technical. You also want emergency access configured.
Bitwarden Families at $40/year for 6 users — includes Premium for everyone, which means emergency access is available to configure. Dashlane if non-technical adoption matters more than price.
Bitwarden
Fits if price and emergency access coverage are the priorities. $40/year for 6 users with shared organisation collections and Premium on every seat.

Makes more sense if autofill reliability for non-technical family members is the bottleneck. Friends & Family covers up to 10 users.
Keeper
Consider if emergency access without requiring the recipient to hold a paid plan is important. Keeper's Next of Kin doesn't impose this restriction.
Configure emergency access during the first session — designate another family member as trusted contact before the vault has anything valuable in it. Don't defer this.
