I'm speaking out of personal experience trying to get non-average users (my friends and family, some of whom work in non-technical roles at software companies) to understand and use password managers.

Most of them can't and won't invest the time just to switch to 1Password. The average person isn't going to exceed that bar by a margin that even I, a software developer, wouldn't bother with.

When something is too technical for even an average developer to bother with (because it's unnecessary, not because it's hard), it is totally hopeless for the average user.

it took a LOOOONG time to get my wife into using a password manager, specifically 1Pass. I'm super comfortable with an offline password manager, but there is not a chance in hell that I'd subject her to that

for a large amount of people, tech and non-tech alike, LastPass and 1Pass are really really good.

Paragraph one is good. In paragraph two, you're doing it again. :D

It's easy, unless you have actual data, what you have is an opinion.

Many of us in this forum are people that have tried to influence those around us - family, friends, coworkers - to use better security practices such as password managers. Those personal experiences alongside the prevalence and adoption of cloud-sync enabled password managers (including browsers) creates a reasonable foundation from which to form a not-fully-ignorant opinion.

Yes, like me, and I've had success with getting people to use keepass. Should I extrapolate my personal anecdote to apply to everyone?

You have had success getting non-technically oriented friends and family to use a Keepass across multiple devices? Then you're doing far better than me.

I don't think your experience is representative. As I stated in my previous comment, I think the relative success of cloud-enabled password managers vs. more secure options like Keepass are a non-anecdotal form of support for this opinion. But I would be way off (which I also acknowledge).

Could be that those companies use marketing? Keepass doesn't market. Hard to say without any facts. :D

I’ve sold some friends and family on password managers, and the cloud syncing has been a key part of getting them to accept it. The alternative is often shortish passwords shared between systems.
