Atleast for me, I haven’t found an easy way to do it. Usually its about being the tech guy for them. I really dislike the “non techies are bad because they bother the techies for small issues” meme, surely you are not so busy as to not be a

I have converted most of my family and friends to ff in the past month. I take my time and help them understand why the change is needed. The biggest reason they were afraid to move was because they had stored years worth passwords and othe
