For my parents, i tell them to just write the password down on a piece of paper.
If someone breaks in their house,they have a bigger problem than someone reading their emails, and since they live off givernment pensions, there is not a lot of money that can be stolen via the internet.

- Wowfunhappy 5y agoI wouldn't be worried about someone breaking in, so much as the paper getting lost.
- massysett 5y agoFor most people who need advice on how to manage passwords, they're a lot more likely to hose their computer in some way than they are to lose a piece of paper.
- jefftk 5y agoSure, but it does not protect against phishing. If they visit something that looks like their bank site, but isn't, they will type in the password from the paper. If they were using a password manager with proper integration it would notice the domain mismatch and refuse to fill.
