Password managers for tech illiterate family members.

Common Sense 2016 comes with a nice password manager called Memory

Seems better than using insecure passwords.

The only way to remember secure passwords is using some kind of mnemonic. For normies, "memory" means "[firstname]1234" or "passw0rd".

Why pay for something that you can get for free? Just tell them to write down their passwords.

>>57592950
So you can remember passwords for about 50-100 web services with perfectly individual and unique passwords (without having any parts in common)? Sure thing.

My passwords are secure as fuck and super easy to remember.

Take the name of the thing the password is for. For example, 'facebook,' or 'google' or whatever. Take the first four letters and reverse them, e.g. 'ecaf.' Think of a sentence for which this would be an acronym, for example 'everyone creates accounts furtively.' If it contains uncommon words, all the better.

Next take some 4-digit number that only you know, but that you can remember easily, e.g. your card PIN number. Type that at the end while holding shift so that it becomes punctuation, e.g. '0123' becomes ')!@#' (I use DVORAK.)

The finished password for facebook would be 'everyone creates accounts furtively )!@#' which is pretty much unbreakable, unguessable, and pretty easy to remember (use the same number for the end of all your passwords.) If you write it down, nobody will know what it is. Even if they do, they won't know the number at the end.

Write down passwords? Do you live in the stone age? Maybe you want to have access to your passwords anywhere (not just at home) or maybe you want features like password generation or autotype...

>Using "password"
>Not using "Passphrase"

Just take your favorite lines from your favorite books. Easy to remember, higher entropy, added punctuation makes dictionary cracking impossible.

Even though I personally am not a fan of cloud based password managers, however LastPass seems to be the best option for normies. Quite idiot proof desu. Usable in any browser and advanced features available with browser addons. As pricing doesn't seem to be an issue, why the fuck not.

Keep it on your phone then.
>autotype
Cannot be trusted.

>Cannot be trusted.
Why not?

Keypass works well for my parents. syncing cross platform doesn't seem like a problem to them though because they don't bother to change things that work

>>57593013
This. Again, I wouldn't be using this for myself but for a group of people that will always choose shitty passwords. This seems better than the alternative.

>>57593050
I want them to have strong passwords that sync to their services.

>>57593088
This is the system I use but I don't think my parents will, sorry.

>>57593095
Password generation and autofill are one of the reasons I'm considering 1Password.

>>57593127
Thanks, I'm not generally a fan either but in this use case I agree, it might be the best solution.

>>57593297
Why can't autofill be trusted? I would be using 1Password for people who use Macs/iPhones.

>>57593710
Thanks, I'll take a look. Are there any advantages/disadvantages between Keypass and 1Password. The ~$60/year price doesn't really matter.

Been on lastpass for a week. Seems fine, and now no cost for pleb tier

Solid app and extensions... Just don't fuck up and skip setting up recovery options.

keypass is more secure because of your methods of handling it. 1pass has you to use their service so there's a higher probability of being attacked.
So 1pass might be more convenient.

The software names might be confusing to some because of FOSS people aren't familiar with software with same capabilities but in different names.
