I assume they're thinking about the 'offline' style where one would shuffle a database file and probably resolve conflicts. There's an app/extensions nowadays, man!

I don't even bother with a VPN, just occasionally push a 'sync' button on the roaming devices [when they return to LAN]. DB transactions [new credentials] averages ~0 per month... but there's plenty of capacity. Works extremely well.

The truth is that even with KeePassXC, I just really do not notice stale passwords across devices. It's just really not a huge deal for me personally. Maybe it is for normal people. I sync my databases maybe once a year if I'm lucky.

Same here. I use pass, and I just don't create/update passwords that often. And synchronising is very easy (it's a git repo).

Right, that's what I was trying to emphasize. Rare syncs are totally fine here, too. I try to keep a routine but tend to slip. If not 'with my usual device' there's a tiny number of accounts I even need. They rarely change so the 'cache' is usually suitable. If not, the restriction is always short-lived.
