Do you recommend a password manager to everyone you know? What's the adoption rate?

I honestly suggest using Mozilla Firefox built-in password manager, it's enough for most people.

As a data point: when non technical friends of mine complain against password I tell them to use a password manager. The adoption rate is zero, probably because they don't even know what a password manager is, except the remember password / fill in password feature of their browser. The best I saw, from a not entirely non technical person is passwords on sheets of paper.

I have tried repeatedly to get my wife to use the family 1Password account for things we will both need, with minimal success. She is reasonably technical, she writes SQL, but she just won't do it.

1Password is completely broken in android. I have barely a 50% success rate with it filling in passwords, I'm usually copy/pasting back and forth.

If there were anything better and as easy to use as Chrome, I'd switch.
