yeah my 6 y/o hates remembering passwords. Fear of getting her password wrong almost made her afraid to use computers at all


Time to set up a family 1password, or if you're up for teaching your family, keepass.


Not on school-owned devices :-/

(but for something like school app/site passwords, though best practice it may not be, "written on a sheet of paper, kept in a drawer" is in fact totally fine)


Sounds like the school owned device needs to come pre-installed with a password manager then, at least for school related activities.

This works, until you have to bring the paper to school where your kids friends will inevitably find the paper and login and mess with their stuff (source: I was that friend)


Oh, yeah, paper should probably be stored with your liquor and only pulled out when needed (or with your guns if you're that sort, I guess). Otherwise siblings will pull some pranks.


yes it's easier at home to have this stuff on the fridge for reference (also she can just ask me to login for her) but at actual school it was a real problem
