I use a laptop, desktop PC, phone, and 2 tablets at home. Another PC and laptop and tablet when I visit my parents. Not all of them are mine, and it is _very_ annoying to have to login to a website on them. You have to go through the unlock flow on your own device (long and complicated password) to access the password, and then copy the site-specific password (usually long and complicated) to the new device.

It is a giant pain. I can understand why people wouldn't want to go through it.

Also, which password manager I should use anyway?

As far as I can tell, there are SaaS ones, broken ones, no longer maintained ones, and the ones that don't work on multiple platforms. There's not one password manager I've heard of that didn't exhibit one or more of the above "features".

"Perfect is the enemy of good", but the effort around making informed choice makes not using password managers seem better.

KeepassXC is FOSS, runs locally, is actively maintained, and is multi-platform.

I've used it for years with no complaints, it's wonderful.

I use proton pass (SAAS). I just figure I should be paying for core internet services like email, storage, passwords, calendars, etc. so that ideally my interests are aligned with my provider. I use the services on windows, android and linux regularly. So I can confirm that proton pass, email and vpn all work on those three operating systems. I cannot imagine they wouldn't work on MacOS.

Yes, you pay, but I see that as acceptable and expected for the service offered.
