Thank you very much for the additional information. Where does the password 
manager live?

I used to use 1Pass and it would suggest passwords that were a string of 
unrelated words as well as the gibberish ones. Like cometnethorseropetown.

But if one person maintains the password manager how do others get access to 
it? The most stressful moments have been the weeks when someone wasn’t 
available to pass on the password for a week.

Since we host email accounts for anyone who wants one it is particularly 
crucial that the password for the ISP be available ASAP. The password to the 
password manager would be just another cog in the wheel.
