        asking because that has recently went free (covers most non-enterprise use cases), that might lower friction

        @LeighBarlow Or, instead of paying to store all your passwords on someone else's computer, you could help them install free @KeePass.

        Yep. But it’s not as convenient. Will they use it. The key (no pun intended) is to use it consistently.

        Security > convenience. If you want to teach them right, teach them right.

        Security without convenience isn’t security, it’s wishful thinking.

        I have trouble trusting @1Password as it is not Open Source.

        Fair enough. Although even hosted open source solutions don’t guarantee binary integrity though.

        Right, but an option to self-host.

        Any thoughts on Safari passwords? That’s what I advice my family members. It’s an integral part of macOS and iOS.

        Reluctant to advice 1Password to ‘normal’ users. It sometimes fills or saves the wrong fields of a login page. Use it myself though.
