4 months agoHi TheGoodGuy! Thanks for writing in. I'd like to ask a few questions to better understand your set up.
So I'm using password caching in their browsers and it works fine.
Could you share a bit more about what you mean by password caching? Are they saving credentials in their browser's built-in password manager or somewhere else?
I set up myself each items in their vaults and copy/paste the new passwords in their browser cache and they're ready to go.
It sounds like you've created a vault for each parent in your 1Password account and are adding items for them with credentials they've previously saved elsewhere. If so, is the goal to have backups of these credentials for them, or are they accessing your account to retrieve these credentials? Or, are you creating items for your parents, sharing the generated password with them, then encouraging them to use "remember me" options to avoid regular password entry?
Thanks again!
