Remember when a password manager felt like a crazy luxury?

I spent about $40 a year on one back in 2015, and my friends thought I was nuts. It saved me last year when my old email got hit in a big data leak. The manager flagged all my reused passwords, so I only had to change a few instead of a hundred. Anyone have a good method for getting family members to actually use one?

Totally get that feeling of being the weird one for using a password manager early on. It's a huge relief when it pays off like that during a leak. For family, I had luck just setting it up on their main device and walking them through one login.

How did you get yours to actually listen? My sister fought me on it for years. I finally sat her down and showed her the list of her own leaked passwords from that one big checkup site. Seeing her own email in black and white was the only thing that worked. She went from total refusal to asking me for help setting it up that same afternoon.
