nah my browser history goes to the grave with me :oops:
Nobody cares about your browsing history. It’s more or less, what they (I.e-Family, friends, ect.) would have access to specific accounts that have passwords that require your authentication. Why would anybody care about what you’re browsing? (Rhetorical of course).
 
But keep this in mind...

it was a joke mate. lighten up.
You expect somebody to understand the context of your post as a joke? Not everybody shares your interpretation. Like I said, your browsing history isn’t relevant to what the topic is about, it’s your stored/secured passwords and information. I think you were making a joke in spite that you didn’t even read the thread article.

….But I get out on the same side of the bed every day.😁

No harm. No foul. I’m just calling your post out in terms of I didn’t suspect you understood the article contents.
 
Can someone please explain to me why this is preferable to ensuring that your family have access to your passwords? They can then log in to all devices, including having access to keychain.
No one made that claim so no explanation needed.
 
2008 Macbook used 2.5" hard disk drive. It is very easy to open the back cover with/without a screw driver. And then remove the hard disk. Get an external 2.5" hard disk enclosure and install the disk into it. Finally plug the external hard disk to any Mac.

Didn't even need to go that far. Finally picked up my deceased nephew's MacBook and found it still ran Leopard 10.5.8. Booted into single-user mode and simply changed the admin password via the command line. Boom, we were able to login and salvage his photos.

Still, there wouldn't have been much hope if it was one of today's machines with a modern OS. I'm counting on Apple to expand Legacy Contact to macOS devices.

Yeah. Mom died. She loved her iPads and iPhones. After she died, we thought we had all of them rounded up, and deleted her iCloud account, and then found a couple more iPads, and an iPhone. All junk by then. *sigh*
