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.

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.

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.
