keepass is one of those apps you are either forced on to due to a disaster (forgetting your important portal credentials at the most problematic time) or your memory is like a sieve.
it took me like 2015-2017 to teach my siblings to use it. now we have copies of each others kbdx files and passwords in our respective files so if there is an emergency to access the others data (which contains btw, all important data besides login credentials, passport numbers, tax information, expiry of policies) and other than the occasional password change which barely happens now because we don't go and willy nilly create accounts or changes.
this is a very low cost/maintenance option because the files exist on our phones, in our backups, on our devices, the whole shebang.
i don't need an online password manager, it simply will not work for me because i am relying on someone else and because the data is on my device, its as secure as the xkcd plumbing password

"what was the routing number of my bank" or "when does my passport expire" or "what is the private key of my crypto paper wallet, what is my paper wallet code itself". "what was the recovery email/mobile to my fb/gmail?" this works almost like a safekeep in case a person dies and their heirs get to access important stuff which otherwise get lost. i mean my family has a copy of my file with the password
