    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.
