'The wind keeps blowing my wifi signal away ' is more than enough information to diagnose the problem, and 'the computer forgot my password' is now a real thing since password managers started coming baked into browsers.
We are so far beyond parody of ourselves that i have no idea how the onion stays in business.
Using Bitwarden must be too complicated for these guys or something.
You misspelled KeePass
If bitwarden is too complicated, keepass is out of the picture
How could you be simpler than keepass? Like, there's more advanced features, but for basic function, its just a password to access a list of passwords.
Unless you never thought of, implemented, regularly did and regularly tested your backup of the database. Or... try to use it on more than one device - maybe even at the same time.
That's the main problem with KeePass. It's nice to have it offline, fully under your control and out of the cloud, but that comes with some responsibilities on your end. And now think of how the average user solves this. If you're tech savvy enough, KeePass is great!
You technically only need it on one device if you don't want to be able to copy/paste or use the autotype feature. Which works fine until you lose or break that one device or upgrade to a new one and forgot you needed to transfer your passwords or delete your database because you didn't remember what it was and wanted to free up space.
And Bitwarden has scary things like "self-hosting".
It works fine with Syncthing so long as you only ever have the database open on one device at a time.
You can have it open on multiple at a time if you are not editing.
Setup syncthing between the computers. If the person is not tech savy enough, they can always force the tech savy enough person they know to set it up for them. The are no problems with the tech, people just dont know it exists. Even if you don't or can't use syncthing (iOS users), you can just be stupid and put it in the cloud.
