I guess the author doesn't know but setting password for users used to be more common. They would put it on a sticky under their keyboard or something(i did it myself too and I was in IT at the time, didn't give a shit, getting locked out every other day was affecting my perfrormance/metrics).
The latesr NIST guidline is goes further by eliminating password complexity and focusing memorable high-entropy passphrases. This is a "what you know" auth factor, even with password managers in play, the master password for that or for your high-impact sso password (work sso that can access everything) should ideally be stored only in your head.
But if the author insists, users should be given printed password books and enable MFA.
