Maybe they don't want to be relying on a random third-party for all their passwords?

Rather than getting them to sign up for a password manager, what about getting them to install a password manager? I use https://www.passwordstore.org/ - it encrypts your passwords with GPG, and shares the storage via a Git repository for synchronisation between different machines.

I suppose the biggest advantage of a online password manager for non-tech savvy users is the syncing between devices.

But pass does that too, you could even use github for the backing if you wanted.
