Comment on Tech support for mum

I taught my mum to use 1Password and the best part is under 1Password for Families, I can add access to her vault so if she does forget I can point her to it.
Plus it gets them out of the habit of reusing simple passwords.

Yeah that’s excellent! I’ve been trying to do similar for years …… for my ex and kids.
I use Apple’s password manager mainly because it’s so well integrated into their ecosystem, including family sharing. If you’re an Apple family, it’s a great choice (and yes there’s a windows integration).
I finally forced them to use it for streaming services because I refuse to give the password out. I just tell them where they can find it
But none of them voluntarily use it. And it even gives notices for reused passwords and exposed passwords: I have to see that but they won’t change them because they can’t remember them.

Yes! I do a separate Shared Streaming Services vault just for things like that too so everyone can access it.
