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.

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).

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.

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.

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 haha

I encourage mum to use the built in one in Chrome as that tends to pop up anyway. I tried setting up Bitwarden but it didn't get used.

I recommend they get a physical key (yubikey), it's more intuitive or natural for the pre-digital-first generations

Write it down in the book:

Keep the book in the office by the laptop.
