Want to guess how many non-tech individuals save passwords in Chrome on desktop and in iOS on their iPhone?

At that point you don't have a password manager, you have a bunch of passwords you know and you just left "remember this" checked.

..in two different "password managers", which people regularly open up and look up passwords to manually type in the other device from.

I actually use both. Bitwarden with a strong password and auto-locking for anything that needs actual security, or can manage to keep a session logged in. Chrome's built-in password manager is nice for a few sites that are not really that important at all (a few forums and local activity groups), yet for some reason keep requiring password reentry all the time.

It's not that hard. Chrome and something else. (Such as iOS.) A different kind of backup authentication method would work too.

if I can't have two password managers for redundancy then none it is.
