[ale] Of password managers and family...

[Kyle Brieden]

Howdy all,

I've been using a KeePass vault for password management for a little 
while now.  I use my NextCloud server (SUPER awesome, do recommend) for 
syncing the vault between computers and mobile devices.  I use KeePassXC 
on Windows, Mac, and Linux, and I use different apps on my Android phone 
and iPad respectively.  This is all well and good for *me*, because I 
like the open source, I own all the hardware, I'm doing this all on my 
own kind of feel, but this isn't sustainable for anyone more than 
myself.  I have been bitten in the ass before by my vault getting out of 
sync between two devices or being open on multiple devices at a time.

My family (fiancee, sister, brother-in-law, mother, and father) need 
protection.  They NEED to stop reusing passwords and set up a password 
manager.  Does anyone have any opinions on low barrier to entry, low 
friction password managers for the non-technical in our lives?  I've 
investigated LastPass thus far, and the price seems worth it to me.  
LastPass seems trustworthy, too, with how open they are about their 
technology stack.  I have looked at some others, such as Padlock, too, 
which seems like a good open source alternative.

Thoughts?  Opinions?  Feelings?  Success and/or catastrophic failure 
anecdotes?

Thanks!
