KeepassXC is much better than older keepass clients. Syncthing runs quietly in the background. It's really not much harder to use that other password managers once you set it up

Ehh.. much as I love syncthing, I wouldn't recommend it to nontechnical people. I mean, here the dad has android the mom iphone amd they want to sync a keepass file? Maybe with a browser addon on a desktop as well? And the most popular third party android app is discontinued (I use the nerdily named syncthing-fork) and the ios apps i never managed to get to work for my family (maybe sushitrain works now?). But if you live close to parents I guess it can work. This kind of software can be good for social cohesion and less isolation =P
I use keepass and have for years and I wanted to switch from using google drive to something more self hosted so I tried sync-thing. I have been a C and C++ developer for over 40 years and I found it one of the most obtuse things I have ever tried. I'll have to get back to it. :) It's still running but somehow never syncs a single file between the desktop and the linux server. I don't think the android client can run on a modern pixel phone anyway anymore due to security constraints.
Syncthing-fork is running perfectly fine on my Pixel 9. The web interface is definitely better than the default app interface, it's a shame they even bothered with that app interface.
All you have to do is exchange "keys" with the two machines you want to sync and then it's mostly set and forget
