  Because there's not a replacement that syncs well and is easy to teach your non-techie parents/spouse how to use to log into their shared accounts.

    What's the problem with the built-in one in Firefox? It has optional syncing if you want it.

      Firefox Lockwise is very new and quite frankly doesn't have very many features that people require such as import, export, etc. At this point I don't even know how to get all my password manager passwords into Lockwise even from a simple comma delimited file. Right now, it's still impossible to switch to it for a lot of people.

  > Why would anyone want a cloud based, proprietary, non-free, non-oss password manager is what I really want to know. Former reputation and inertia. I use it, and when I started it seemed to have the best reputation for ease of use. I also recall that its security model was publicly endorsed by quite a few people who looked at it closely. I only use it for "less important" sites, which basically means everything that isn't a primary email account or an investment website. For those, I use 2FA whenever possible and memorize random passwords [1]. I've been interested in switching since LastPass was bought by LogMeIn, but it's never been a high enough priority for me to actually spend the time to search for another tool. [1] when memorization gets to be too much, I split the passwords in half: a common half I memorize, and a unique half I write down on paper.
