    At this rate I don’t even know what to do:

    • 2FA - he struggles with it, so I had to turn it off
    • writing his password in a piece of paper, telling him to store it - he lost it
    • making an easy to remember password for him - he’s still forgetting it
    • telling him “I don’t remember” - he’ll come here and ask me to reset it

    What concerns me the most is that, if I didn’t do this for him, someone else would. And some people give no fucks about the others’ privacy. Like, I’m grateful that he trusts me, but he shouldn’t be relying on trust on first place!

      Yeah, I might get to the point with him where I say, " if you can’t manage your password, it’s not really safe for you to be using Facebook. There are too many bad actors who try to take advantage of people online."

      Either he should have enough wit about him to remember where he has stored his password (sticky note under keyboard?) or he probably shouldn’t be sharing things online. He is going to get scammed.
