Do you know if she's using her computer for anything financial related or just plain sending emails?
Depending on your own schedule, I would set her passwords for anything serious for her, like banking, and when she needs to login to those websites, you can remote in via teamviewer or what not and login for her, or tell her the password over the phone. You'd be essentially a human password manager, but this would allow you to help her with anything serious and important without consequences and also you would know her information in an emergency without jumping through hoops.

She’s in her 80’s and any change to her routine completely frustrates her. Password update prompts are the stressful. I’d advise against changing your grandma’s computer if she’s anything like mine, a different keyboard and different screen resolution required me multiple visits to get right. I have set up my own admin user on her computer, and remote in regularly with RDP on a non-standard port to keep the machine updated. If you have the knowledge, make sure her router is moderately secure.
