A local-only storage solution with your own syncing is by far the best way. Also, storing low security passwords (eg Netflix) in chrome / iOS keychain seems like a pretty safe trade off to me.

I'm still having issues convincing friends/family that the initial friction of a password manager and replacing all of your reused passwords is worth it at all.

Security is a battle of convenience, and we still haven't struck gold for the layman to have decent enough security hygiene.
