Interesting idea, usually the password strength evaluator tries to discourage dictionary words. Out of curiosity, what is the main advantage? Easier to type/rember by hand?
If the password is long enough, and seeded with numbers/symbols, I think it is as strong as any other password. The main advantage is it is easier to read and input manually on a device without the password manager installed eg. enter my PayPal password on kid's machine to purchase a Steam game.

Good point, there has been an auto type feature request for MacOS for some time, i've
now created the same for windows. I'll have to take a closer look at the Windows APIs, right now I can't really estimate how complicated that would be.
Dont forget,
KeePass is open-source, so you might be able to borrow some code from it!

On Android you'd typically use the Auto-Fill feature. It's still a bit cumbersome, but definitely the endorsed way from Android/Play Store.
The auto-fill is wonderful when it works, but there are still quite a number of websites and apps that do not support it well unfortunately. In such situations, I find the the built-in keyboard easier to use compared to loading the app and doing copy-and-paste.
Don't get me wrong. I think you have a wonderful cross-platform password manager that will appeal to many users. It's just that I have been tuning my own setup for awhile now and am familiar with what I currently have. If for example I am forced to recreate my current
KeePass environment with all the plugins I have configured, I might just take the easy way out and start with something that eg. works with cloud storage right out of the box.
