The average person cannot remember a good password without some help, be it using it everywhere, writing it down, or using a password manager. Homeless individuals, on average, have many more stressors in life, much higher rates of traumatic brain injury, and a number of other factors that make their ability to remember good passwords much worse than the average person. Given this solution doesn't work for the average person, it will have even less success applied to the homeless.
- makeitdouble 4y agoHow many passwords does an homeless person need to remember ? I’m with you that an average person is probably using at least dozens of services that need credentials, but these people are probably not login on Amazon or checking their 401k online for instance, nd can probably get by with a a very limited set of stuff to remember.
- abeyer 4y agoIf they're relying on government social services, they may well have a whole plethora of accounts to manage that.
- makeitdouble 4y agoI don't know how dire it is in general, but there's at least a fighting chance to have some kind of unified login at that level. NThinking about it, now that many "casual" sites also accept google login the number of accounts needed might really be minimal.
- abeyer 4y agoUnfortunately (at least in the US) these types of services tend to be a patchwork of different agencies at different levels of government... you'll potentially see local, regional, state, and federal all for one person. If you're lucky agencies at the same level might share a unified login of some sort, but good luck finding that across different levels.
