A paper notepad with stickies all tucked inside and stored in a safe. Then I try to get them MFA'd.

They ain't going to figure out or tolerate the likes of what 1Password has become. Anything on their Windows PC is going to get pwned.

My dad gave me his password manager master password and his laptop password. I added both to my password manager. He tracks my mom’s most important passwords in the password manager, too.

We also talked about setting up a family account and sharing in his password manager, but it hasn’t become a priority yet vs the other late life planning stuff.

I built VALT, a chrome extension to manage their passwords.

That page is written in easy to understand old-people-friendly prose (and has a few missing screenshots).

You used the plural "passwords", what makes you think there are multiple?

The people I have in mind sometimes get confused with basic iPhone functionality like Maps and CarPlay. I would think 1password is the solution but honestly a physical notebook is probably more their speed.

I primarily use the built-in password manager on my iPhone. It’s very convenient; besides storing passwords, it allows for quick autofill when logging in and supports passkeys and 2FA.
