Have a conversation and listen to her. I’m guessing that her behaviors are driven by an emotion. Maybe she’s overwhelmed by the complexity. Most people who say that they don’t care about security actually prioritize ease of use over security. Unfortunately good security can be hard.

If/when you speak to her, don’t try to solve her problems during that conversation. Meet her where she’s at and empathize with her. When she’s done, you get to express your concerns and see her reacting. I’m guessing that you’re concerned that she is putting her finances at risk. Explain your concern to her.

Once you both come to a shared understanding, then you can come with some ideas for her to react to. Again, dig deep into her concerns, talking through them. You’re going to need to let some things go. It’s her life and her money and you’ll be there to help in a nonjudgemental way if anything bad happens and then you can have another conversation after the dust has settled.

I ended up with my parents having 3 passwords. One for their bank, one for their health stuff and one for everything else. The bank and health ones are long and difficult to guess, the other one is easy to remember and “good enough”.

Thanks for the feedback. I plan to do some reading on NFSv4 domain mapping this weekend.

It’s not long, but I really like the feel of Whole World Knows by Adia Victoria. It’s about a girl with a secret drug problem (that the whole world knows about) as she spirals out of control. The symbolism is heavy, the syrongly religious family can’t or doesn’t help and it’s a catchy tune.

Joined/subscribed, but not vegan. I enjoy cooking and have started adding some vegan dishes to the rotation to learn some new cooking techniques on foods that I’m not familiar with cooking, like soy. I enjoy the new challenge. Also, I feel like there are probably health benefits. I’m particularly interested in awhile food based cheese substitutions. I found a fantastic vegan queso dip with 3 ingredients. The other stuff is good, too, but not really on my mind.

It sort of grosses me out. I don’t know how to explain it.

No, i’d go vegan before i’d eat cultured meat. I’m not opposed to it and it’s probably better for the economy and environment, but I have a mental thing about it. Granted if I had to catch and clean my own meat, i’d also probably go vegan. Maybe I’m just squeamish about my food.
