I think a verbal password works just fine here. But it has to be something that you are 100% positive the other person wouldn't forget, otherwise it's not effective.

Also sending this article to family members so they're aware of this kind of thing.

My problem with this is that it's effectively one-time use, only, if you're a high-enough-value target.

Once you secret is "said" apart, over technology, it could be considered compromát.

Maybe have your "secret" be about a particular vacation or time period, using a novel recollection dependingupon severity of each conversation.
