Why do you use more than one password manager? I have disabled all password managers in every app that I use except for the one I store things in. I have multiple folders with their own passwords too but they're all stored via the same solution.

Because Google Chrome on iOS pops up asking to remember a password Safari on iOS suggests a password even if I'm trying to paste on in from my password manager OSX can be the same way They all sync and I never bothered to disable them because I never thought about it, but sometimes I'm in a rush with a service I think I'll never use again and use the suggested solution in one of the browsers

  Unfortunately, and I hate to "victim blame" (though you say you are not yet a victim), I think you have to take some responsibility and use a password manager with deliberation. IMHO the browsers all make this worse by giving you something that seems to work and your first notice that it doesn't anymore is when it stops, which is a terrible way for a security feature to work, but obviously they have incentives to lock you in, and boy oh boy is this one of the biggest ways that a browser can lock you in. I think you should resist sooner rather than later and switch to something cross-browser and third-party. But it's up to you, of course.

>Why do you use more than one password manager? Work vs home is one driver. And for some cases, "Login with Google" or similar is nice because it integrates Google pay, removes sign-up friction, etc. I'm aware it has downsides, but it remains useful in some niche areas.

  Most password managers allow you to separate work from home, though. You don't need to store them in different platforms to have them in different places.
