I came here to tell you why people use password managers. Turns out your real question is why people use remote backup password manager services. I honestly don't know. Keepass + syncthing is really fantastic and very secure. I guess some people have bought into this "services are convenient" narrative, which I don't really think is true at all. There's nothing convenient about finding out that your password database has leaked online, verifying your new machine with SMS 2fa, doing everything in a browser in a web app. Having a file in a directory that's just always there and up to date is convenient, adding a new syncthing directory pair when you get a new machine and then being able to forget about it after that is convenient.
