Requirements: genuinely free tier (not a trial), dead-simple on an iPhone, and easy recovery if he forgets the master password. I've heard Bitwarden's name a lot but is it too fiddly for a 70-year-old? What's actually the least-painful option you've set up for a parent?","community":"Software","score":3,"answer_count":1,"standing":{"kind":"leading","answer_votes":3,"leading":{"id":171,"name":"Bitwarden","score":3},"runner_up":null},"author":{"username":"lenamakes","verified":false},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-09-23T18:16:33.338Z","url":"https://settd.com/p/276","thumbnail":null},"comments":[{"id":171,"name":"Bitwarden","body":"Zero-knowledge vault, independently audited, and the free tier covers unlimited devices — that's the differentiator over the other \"free\" options that cap you at one device. For a 70-year-old the onboarding is the real risk, so do it with him in person: enable biometric unlock on his iPhone, save the emergency-sheet printout somewhere physical, and pair the browser extension for him once. After that it stays invisible and he never thinks about it again.","score":3,"rank_score":3,"author":{"username":"dandev","verified":false},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-09-23T18:25:35.748Z"}],"pagination":{"limit":50,"offset":0,"has_more":false,"next_offset":null}}
