Am I the only one who thinks password managers are overrated for personal use?

I spent like 6 hours last week setting up Bitwarden across all my devices after hearing everyone rave about it. But honestly, I keep hitting this weird glitch where it won't autofill on my phone for certain apps like my banking app. Tried reinstalling it twice and watched three YouTube tutorials, still takes me longer to log into stuff than just remembering my own passwords. I get that it's safer and all, but for a regular person like me with only like 20 logins, the hassle isn't worth it. My buddy Dave swears by it for his work accounts, but for my personal stuff, I feel like it just added a new layer of annoyance. Has anyone else struggled with these autofill issues on mobile?

That autofill glitch on mobile is the exact reason I gave up on password managers twice now. Did you try turning off the accessibility settings for the app, because sometimes that's what messes with banking apps especially. My phone would randomly refuse to fill in my credit card info on shopping sites and I wanted to throw it against the wall. For someone with 20 logins, the learning curve just feels like a tax on your patience with zero payoff. What specific phone are you using because I swear this is a bigger problem on Androids than iPhones from what my friends tell me.

Drive me nuts how we keep layering bandaids on top of bandaids with tech instead of just fixing the core problem. Feels like every app update just trades one headache for another.
