- I think so 1password works fine. They find it easier. I have few who even keep a diary with password of few websites they use. They just don't trust digital hahaby sendhello

- 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.
