When Passwords was released in iOS 18, I went to clean old stuff, 3-5 years of sites I don't visit anymore took me about an hour.
You can back up your passwords to a file and erase anything that you don't think is worth keeping, in case something turns out to be actually needed the password is there in the file.

My KeePassXC .kdbx file with 100+ entries is 50kb.
This list is only growing with no viable option for some automatic or semi-auto removal of things that I don't need or otherwise don't exist anymore.
I once tried to check the oldest entries and found almost half of them pointing to websites or services that don't exist anymore. (Everything else aside, always sad to see how things die on the Internet, often for no good reason).
Many of the entries were not needed anymore, so I went and requested account deletion whenever possible, one by one.
However, going through and cleaning up even a single year in the past took me several days (!)
Someone can say "disk storage for a few thousand DB entries is cheap, don't worry and forget about it" and I guess it's what most people do.
Still, if you see it as a problem (say, what if your DB leaks one day?) any solutions you can suggest?
