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.
Shoutouts to paper and pen.
Keep the booklet in a safe place.
This is the first suggestion here that's actually within the technical abilities of most people, even most Lemmy users.
The level of technical knowledge some of people here seem to think the general public has is absurd.
If getting a Dropbox account is too difficult for them, I seriously wonder why they'd be subscribed here, or reading articles about password management in browsers.
We're lost
Because I'm interested in tech news, especially since the world we live in can't function without it.
Besides, Lemmy seems to seriously overestimate the technical abilities of, well, most people.
