Any advice on password management that my tech-challenged, 72 year old mother can use on both her iPjone and CjromeBook?
It seems like every time my mom has to log into her account for any website, she needs my help recovering/changing her password. Each site, almost every time, every single day.
Is there any password manager type software that can work on both ChromeBook and iPhone that is dummy-proof and easy to use and that
keeps her login and password Iinfo synced for both devices? Or any ideas on a different solution to stop the constant daily password changing?
Whatever the solution is, it has to work with her limited tech-savvyness, short attention span, minimal patience, and horrible memory.
A pencil and notepad. When she leaves, she can hide it.
She writes down the passwords.
Use the same password for all sites.
Write every thing down in a notebook (old school paper notebook and pencil).
All account information, banking details. Everything she does on the internet.
We all should do this and make sure it is location is noted in or Will's. So when we go the the happy hunting ground the executor of our estate will be able to short things out.
Lastpass might be something to look into.
I'd advise against using the same password for everything for security but a good compromise is something like a string of numbers she can recognise with the name of the service appended, good sites will hash the password so its always a different hash if thats what hackers get. Something like dob.sitename will be fairly easy to remember and also be enough to make it different on each site and thwart a simple hash lookup.
For important things like banking etc maybe find out if she is happy for you to deal with it for her. Would maybe give you work but at least you know you are in control of her security. This depends on how she feels giving control away to you it might not be something that she wants for many reasons.
- Why stephen hawking use old tech voice engine? I think today we have hi tech voice like what we heard in win 8.siri iPhone etc. But why stephen hawking still use old SAM Microsoft voice engine?
- Water damage and opening iPhone 5c both puts it out of warranty, so do both? If having water damage in your iPhone 5c means you aren't covered by warranty, is it acceptable to open it and try to fix it as opening it also means it isn't covered by warranty. Therefore if you can't fix it yourself, apple can still take it out of warranty?
- Is there any way I can use my deceased father's iphone X even though I don't know his password or his e-mail password? My dad passed away recently. He had a fairly new iPhone X. I'd like to use it as my own phone but I don't know the passcode. I watched a video on how to restore the phone but I still can't use it because the phone is connected to an itunes account… And since i don't know his e-mail password, i can't reset it. I went to AT&T (where we were on a family plan) but they said they can't help me. Is his nearly new phone destined to be a paper weight?
- Is a 6 year old old enough to have her own phone? I have a bunch of old iPhones (6,7,8) saved up and I'm thinking of putting her into the family plan. What do you think of a 6 year old having a smartphone?
