Perhaps just put the banking app on a tablet/smartphone and change the login? (My banking app uses a separate pincode.)

  He has no access to banking apps. I have a lot of oversight because he uses an e-mail account on a domain I own and he never did much with online banking, so I've been able to take those things over pretty easily. It's amazing what you can accomplish when you have access to someone's e-mail account. And, failing that, a durable power of attorney cuts to the chase right quick. The harder problem is that we haven't taken his wallet and credit cards away... yet. I have threshold notifications set up on his cards, so I get a heads up on purchases over a certain amount. I'd like to find a way to block him from buying junk $39.95 dietary supplements by crippling his web browser some way.

    Does he remember things still? Personally I'd prefer a note saying: check with X before buying anything online. Can you try to get him to send you links to the Items he wants to buy and you start buying them now? Place it under a guise of "I don't want you buying the same thing twice".

      Yes. Next time I visit I'm going to put a note on his monitor to remind him that all medications and supplements have to be approved by his doctor, so ask before buying.

    LastPass notifies you when you reuse a password, I wonder if you can string match CC numbers and trigger a chrome app to mitigate its use. My grandmother has dementia so I empathize deeply with this post.
