For fucks sake, mum. You have been working with computers since the seventies. How can you not know a single one of your passwords?

    How many phone numbers do you know off the top of your head? Everyone only has a certain amount of brain power and it sounds like she just prefers not to waste hers on minutiae like passwords.

    But you could always be a good son and set her up a password manager.

      The trouble is when you don’t remember them but also don’t have an alternative set up and are just expecting things to work.

      Ideally you remember a minimum of 3-4 phone numbers that can help you in an emergency and give you access to the rest of the phone numbers.
