Unpopular opinion: password managers are not the silver bullet everyone claims

I help clients clean out their old computers and I've seen three people lose access to everything because their master password got forgotten or they died suddenly. One guy had his whole business locked behind a LastPass vault his wife couldn't open. Why does nobody talk about having a backup plan for that?

Man that's such a real problem and it sucks nobody warns people about it. I've seen the same thing happen with a friend who passed and his family couldn't get into any of his accounts because he never set up a backup plan. We need to talk more about making an emergency sheet or something that doesn't defeat the purpose but saves people when the worst happens.
