I’ve been trying to get my parents to use a password manager for years now. They have a piece of paper with a bunch of passwords on that’s one coffee spill away from a disaster.
I’ve tried getting them to use Bitwarden or any other simple manager, but nothing has stuck.
A “default” one from Apple, might, though. They are more amenable to stuff “built in” (that will also not be hidden down in some settings menus like how the current iOS passwords are stored.) So bring it on.
At least take comfort that the piece of paper already makes them more secure than 90%+ of people!
And have faith… my mom is not super tech literate, but once she used and experienced the convenience of a password manager, she became an evangelist, she even taught and onboarded my grandma onto Bitwarden without me knowing about it.
Lucky! I finally got my mum to use the password manager I admin, but she still reuses the same dozen passwords for everything and manually enters them in… sigh. I’ve set strong passwords and 2FA for all critical accounts, so I just let her be a moron with the rest of them.
Computers break her brain. She literally responds with questions like “it’s IN the computer?” Zoolander style. I just do most of her shit myself because it’s less painful than trying to teach her.
