Which is great for Hacker News users that can maintain their own infra. But if we're talking "stress free", that's not an answer for the average user...

what "infra"? keepass works locally, and just opens a database file. it works the same as any other password manager.
Most other password managers have a cloud component so if your local storage breaks or gets lost you don't lose all your passwords.
The average user is reusing their password everywhere, and rotation means changing the numeral 6 at the end of the password to 7.
We should be encouraging those users to switch to a password manager.
I do when I can, but there's a learning curve, and the rest of the world is trying to move those users in a very different direction (passkeys and other bullshit).
Password habits for many people are now decades-old, and very difficult to break.
