| 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. |

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. | | |
| ▲ | bravetraveler 24 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | 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. | |
| ▲ | palata 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | 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? |
| |
| ▲ | palata 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | 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? | | |
