I use my password manager across multiple devices daily.

Apparently it has not been working without me noticing it?

I assume they're thinking about the 'offline' style where one would shuffle a database file and probably resolve conflicts. There's an app/extensions nowadays, man!

I don't even bother with a VPN, just occasionally push a 'sync' button on the roaming devices [when they return to LAN]. DB transactions [new credentials] averages ~0 per month... but there's plenty of capacity. Works extremely well.

The truth is that even with KeePassXC, I just really do not notice stale passwords across devices. It's just really not a huge deal for me personally. Maybe it is for normal people. I sync my databases maybe once a year if I'm lucky.

Right, that's what I was trying to emphasize. Rare syncs are totally fine here, too. I try to keep a routine but tend to slip. If not 'with my usual device' there's a tiny number of accounts I even need. Nevermind how rarely they actually change.

Password management for an individual is no big deal. For an organization, however... send help.

Same here. I use pass, and I just don't create/update passwords that often. And synchronising is very easy (it's a git repo).

... And how do you access the passwords that password manager manages?

With the "password manager" program? I have one on my desktop and one on my smartphone.

How do you expect to access the passwords that the password manager manages?

... Can everyone in the world ready our passwords or are they "protected" somehow?
