Is that actually something the average person needs? Do they create new accounts ever day or week that they need to have on all device immediately? Merging DBs is like a 2 minute exercise at best.

I would argue the friction is a good thing. "Do I actually need to give yet another website information about myself for an account?" The answer is no more often than not.

Yes I know people don't care but those who don't are not using a password manager.


I am not sure what you are saying, really.

It is a tool that does one thing really well.

It is trivial to sync the password db. You can use whatever you prefer.

Well, using Lastpass or any other third party to store your passwords was never good security practice.
