Get her an iPhone or iPad, and have her use the built-in password manager.
- mehrdadn 9y agoAnything using cheaper/more common hardware? so the user doesn't have to buy new hardware and switch ecosystems just for the sake of being able to manage passwords? (i.e. anything PC/Android?)
- mozumder 9y agoIs your grandma REALLY tied to some ecosystem? Is she a Visual Studio Code developer? Does she need to manage Docker containers? Security does require new hardware because iOS is leaps-and-bounds better than any other system. There is no other option. Nothing else comes close.
- mehrdadn 9y agoI mean, if you agree that the only option for mass adoption of password managers is to get people to shell out $$$+ for new hardware and switch ecosystems, I rest my case.
- mozumder 9y agoNot sure what your case is? Were you expecting security in broken systems like Android? Instead of forcing security onto a broken system, just avoid that system? The fist step of security: stop using Android. And you haven't explained why your grandma is tied to an ecosystem. I'm honestly asking if she's a developer or not? What is her use case? Why does she need to be on a specific platform?
- Macha 9y agoAs developers we might be used to paying 100s of euros (or signing up to a contract to effectively do the same over time) on a phone, but the point is $grandma may not be willing to spend even 20% of iPhone budget (and definitely not replacing it by the time OS updates end)
- derrikcurran 9y agoYou don't need to be a developer to be tied to an ecosystem. Maybe she wouldn't want to lose her Candy Crush purchases?
