at some point, you gotta throw in the towel and let her use one password for everything. not ideal at all, sure, but it's not the end of the world as long as it's complex enough.
or get her a notebook, or a note-taking app, and jot down all the passwords for every account (not the generated ones from the password manager; too complex).
if your issues are more of the "help me, now!!" variety and you want to keep her off your back, tell her that you're busy and can help in ten minutes or an hour or at some scheduled time. if her stuff is urgent, too bad, your work is too. show her that you're not at her beck and call, and then help her at that scheduled time; you'd be surprised at how fast the problems reside.
Honestly even though she is pretty abusive, she's told me that I'm the sole beneficiary in he trust. My sisters went no contact and she's divorced.
With how much money she has, and how easily she gets hacked and scammed, I dont trust using single passwords. She also makes accounts for EVERYTHING. She even had an account for a fucking calculator. With the variety of stuff she makes accounts for, I wouldn't trust a single password.
She doesn't have money dude, nobody like this does. You have no way of knowing if she had more debt than assets.
Just use Chrome everywhere, and sync it to Google. There should be chrome for iPhone.
That's not true. The wealthiest people in the world are abusive as fuck. Is it possible she's swimming in mountains of debt that outweigh her value? It's entirely possible. But it certainly isn't a guarantee
Right, but it's not healthy to rely on getting it. If you do, you have double the job of trying to prevent them from bleeding themselves dry.
Best to think it's a myth, and then get the chance of a nice surprise later.
She's smart enough to have a financial advisor, and honestly they're the reason she has as much wealth as she does. Other than that she is kind of a corpse. Shell lie in bed for days at a time, her screen time is often around 18-22 hours per day.
What about a password type? Like the password has the same format, but is different for each site? Like if her birthday is May 25 and her favorite dog's name is Bunny, she can start it with that and then finish it with a differing sentence?
0525BunnyThisIsMyAmazon! 0525BunnyThisIsMyBank!
,,, et cetera.
It's not the most secure, but at least it should keep it from being brute forced and give her things she can easily remember. And if there's a leak and they have to be changed, you can just change the front part.
i get it. i don't blame you for maintaining a status quo for the purposes of inheritance. i hope you find a good solution in this thread at least!
