Password managers are "obviously" the solution - in my experience they generate good passwords that are accepted almost all the time now days.
However, I still think 3rd-party password managers are too complex for many people, and those people are the ones who need them most. OS-level password management is a bit easier but not great. Browser native password managers are a terrible idea IMO, for people who can't handle a 3rd party manager, imagine their confusion when only a specific browser knows their password, and only when they signed into their browser vendor account.

The interoperability boat has sailed. macOS has had an open Keychain for decades and Google eventually dropped support for it. I don't see them suddenly going back, sharing efforts and allowing cross compatibility.
What we need is just passwords to come front and center anywhere they are: We need a Password.app that I can open and access all I need. Keychain Access was exactly that but its UI is stuck in 2000.
