I use 1Password. Be careful of the option you select. They are leaning
towards "rent" model which I despise.

You can keep the encrypted master file on iCloud or Dropbox so it's
available to all of your devices. Avoid the 'rent' model if possible.

You can use any FOSS password manager. For me, anything that is not FOSS
is automatically suspicious (including 1Password). I don't trust
proprietary software and try to reduce its usage to minimum.

1Password has proven itself over time. I like companies that pay
employees to do things right when it's a critical component.

Free? You get what you pay for. So unless it's a wildly widespread and
popular package with many people maintaining it, it tends to crud.

The Gimp refers.

Well, I like free software. It's not always of the same quality as
commercial software, but at least its security can be tested by many
experts in the industry easily as anyone has access to the source code.
Anyone can read and edit it... understanding and making it work not so much.
