I only need one provider. A portable open source encrypted database I'm in control of and can back up and secure as needed. It's what I have now, and have had for years, in my password manager. I won't be at the mercy of a company or a device to access my digital life.

That's cool, but the last thing I would want my mom to have to manage is a portable open source encrypted database shes's in control of and can back up and secure as needed.

My mum has a password notebook which is locked away in a drawer in her house, she knows to use either passphrases or random string that her browser generates for her. For her threat model this is better than any software thing.

Certainly a password manager like keepass would be no more complicated than trying to explain to her that she can no longer access her account because she broken her phone.
