My mom took to it pretty easily, but then again, someone changed her Amazon password and it took ages for her to convince Amazon to unlock her account, so she was pretty motivated to take steps to prevent something like that from happening again.
Yeah that's my experience as well, it takes an event like that to scare them into taking password management seriously. I guess I'll just have to wait until my various olds have all been hacked or had their identities stolen, and THEN maybe they'll let me sign them up for Bitwarden. Eyeroll.
Yup. "It's too much work to do preventative stuff" followed by "No one could have predicted this".
A tale as old as time.
I bought my wife and I the family plan for 1password. The incident for me that got her to start using it was when her phone died. She couldn't remember her Gmail password and was only currently logged in on her phone. She couldn't remember her backup email passwords either. Somehow we were able to unlock her email with mine with a 72 hour delay or something crazy. It took so much effort to not be like "I told you so" but she pretty much told herself the same thing lol. Since then she uses it and loves it.
