Just came up with my father again.
He blames me that mother forgot her phone’s and Google password because I recommended against it being a word.
I mentioned encryption, “not necessary unless you’re doing something illegal”.
When mentioning lack of privacy with targeted advertisements, he said that he actually really likes them, because he bought a couple of things he wanted for years.
I don’t really have good arguments.
I’m aware. I’ve explained it elsewhere, but having dealt with irrationally tech adverse older people myself, I’ve learned sometimes decent solutions they’ll actually use are better than great ones they’ll resist. I’ve found that any new software, like a password manager, no matter how user friendly and logical is treated with suspicion and disdain.
I gotcha, yeah then it’s probably better for them. As other people in the thread explained, it should save them from most crackers that just give up if the password isn’t cracked easily.
