Uh I know what KeePass is and how it works. The proposed "smooth" solution is - at best - clunky and inconvenient. You've missed the forest for the trees.

> You don't understand KeePass, which is fine

Haha this is so hilariously smug and condescending I have to wonder: are you the real-life Comic Book Guy?

I should’ve clarified: I consider it relatively smooth for a technical user.

Yes this is being pushed on everyone, including grandma's and the tech illiterate. If the "best" solution is clunky at best, what chance to the tech luddites have?

Please don't make personal attacks on HN.

The only difference between an imagined smooth solution is the sync mechanism and a unified client application ecosystem, neither of which is really possible without a large company behind it.

I said you don't understand how KeePass works because you refer to 3 applications for 3 different OSes (2 mobile) as if they were a confusing mix of different applications, when really they're just client implementations around a single, formalized spec. And most folks don't use both iOS and Android so really there's just your choice of KeePass desktop app and one for Android or iOS.

No one says the plethora of email client choices is confusing. This is exactly the same.

This is peak HN. You behave like a douche then appeal to decorum and cry about the rules when called out about it.

It's absolutely not the same. No one is manually syncing files across PCs and devices so they can retrieve mail on all of them. You have zeroed in on some irrelevant pedantry and continue to ignore the big picture.
