    I guess now is as good a time as any for them to start using a proper password manager.

    Personally, I recommend Keepass - it has multiple clients for all platforms, and you can keep the file in sync with a program of your own choosing, like Dropbox, syncthing or whatever you like.

      Bitwarden is probably a more pragmatic choice for most users, given that it’s free and without having to manage the syncing yourself.

      Any password manager is better than the alternative, though.

        Most amazingly, this setup is also unexpectedly resilient against merge conflicts and can sync even when two copies have changed. You wouldn’t expect that from tools relying on 3rd party file syncing.

        I still try to avoid it, but every time it accidentally happened, I could just merge the changes automatically without losing data.
