All popular password managers and browsers have built in sync features. I don't see multi device as a problem with passwords. And don't people need to sync their email? How is that any different?

> they'll be locked into a single browser on that device?

I don't know where you saw this conclusion from. Their are multi-browser password managers and you can always copy+paste.

It's different because it is already done. I don't know of anyone who hasn't already set up their email on all their devices.

Literally, not a single person I know that has a desktop, laptop, tablet and/or phone or any combination of the above that hasn't already got their email on their devices working.

Maybe you use a computing device that doesn't already receive your email, but you're in a minority.
