If the password database is just locally stored/accessed, then it’s still not as bad. Usually password compromising happens because an online service gets hacked or has a bug. That’s why it’s bad to use the same password multiple times. The biggest risk of having the personal machine targeted directly is via scams or other social engineering attacks. And if your dad fails those, then a strong master password wouldn’t make a difference.
It’s synced between a number of machines via a cloud provider. Not sure which one. So there’s a faint risk of having the online archive expised, as those things do happen on occasion.
