Oh my gosh, this was SO helpful for me! I am the “tech person” for all my older family members who aren’t tech savvy and have needed to streamline things for a while. But, time. 🤣 You’ve given me a great starting place and I can modify things from there.

As for the ageism comment, I have to chime in here. I have been in the eldercare industry for almost 20 years. Keeping up with technology IS harder for older people in general. They didn’t grow up with it. It isn’t “second nature.” There are physical reasons for this. In addition, a lot of them DON’T WANT to learn all the ins and outs of technology. They just want to be able use what they want, when they want, and know they are “safe” doing it. This is great information to help those people and their families!

Thank you for putting this out there!

This was very helpful and I shared with my brother (who also acts as tech support). It's useful for me as well as I have an older partner (legacy contacts). Do you have a suggestion for a password manager that you like/recommend? Thanks
