    That’s easy enough for people who actually have things set up in a reasonable way. My mother has an iPhone but all her services are Google and she often can’t even get into her fucking phone because she can’t find it. So when she can’t find her phone and can’t remember her Apple password so we can’t log into iCloud to do Find Your Phone, and she can’t remember her Google password so we can get into her email so we can reset the Apple password it’s kind of a clusterfuck.

      Well yeah without an active session into something it gets tricky.

      I just shamelessly start saving their credentials into my bitwarden.

      My relatives that I was able to train into using it, have their passwords shared with me via organizations. And I’m set up as their vault recovery.

      I also have “parental” access to the location of my grandmas tablet and phone. Which also doubles as a way to see if she’s turned on airplane mode and isn’t getting our calls and messages.
