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.
That was kinda shit guidance. Shouldn’t be relying on memory at all except for maybe a single password to a password manager. A password can be written down & stored securely.
Moreover, passwords are shit when they could be using passkeys. Passkeys are more secure, aren’t memorized, & google accepts them. Decent password managers store them.
As for privacy & security: not your problem. They can leave their shit wide open to attack & deal with identity theft & fraud the hard, expensive way.
