This is not something I typically use, but I figured some here might have some suggestions. I'm looking for suggestions of apps that would run on iOS and help with security, like saving passwords, generating unique random passwords, etc. I looked around and a lot of it looks to be paid or big tech. I'd really prefer something that's open source and works well.
Needs to be beginner friendly. I'm trying to help a kid grow up a bit and learn to be more diligent about security and not getting accounts compromised all the time like he currently does. Encrypted files backed up on own hardware, etc, etc, etc. like I do is just way over his head.
If he's a kid, it's probably best to stick with generic branded software like Norton. It's easier to use and he probably doesn't have any data worth spying on anyway.
Yeah nothing useful for spying. Like look up any dumb teenager it's the same info. Microsoft, Steam, Epic, stuff like that. I got him into more secure browsers and ad blockers and stuff a few months ago. Some money was just spent on his Microsoft account by someone else and while I'm not sure it was directly a result of his stupidity, I just told him it's time to learn to take that stuff seriously and use two factor, better passwords, etc. It blows my mind how willing they are to share logins and stuff.
Yeah, I would suggest using normie apps in that case because it's more important to protect the passwords than privacy.
I think a lot of people here overthink things sometimes. Unless you're speaking out against the regime, you don't need a huge amount of privacy based software and you should just use what's simplest.
