I guess now is as good a time as any for them to start using a proper password manager.

Personally, I recommend Keepass - it has multiple clients for all platforms, and you can keep the file in sync with a program of your own choosing, like Dropbox, syncthing or whatever you like.

Keepass XC on PC, Keepass DX on Android, Syncthing to sync database

Works flawlessly!

I store my DB in Dropbox and use KeePass2Android on phone which has built in Dropbox sync.

Yeah but then you have to trust Dropbox

And I do, have used it for 10+ years I think. Keyfile is also used so even with leaked DB file and password, it should be inaccessible.
