My combination is "KeePass" and "KeePass Touch" on iOS with automated data exchange via Dropbox. This combination comes with free apps and no additional cost. The encrypted file is ALWAYS at a safe place in the cloud. This way a change on one device is instantly copied to all other devices without having to take care. Using the password generator at nearly all times makes most of my passwords not memorable and hard to type and therefore secure.
I started with KeePass on Windows a couple of years ago before the big wave of passwords hit us all. I started on Windows only. Later with manual exchange to my mobile. All this was not efficient enough to let me use it at all times. Only the automated data exchange made it attractive. Now it even holds bank account and passport numbers.
It requires some attention to use it at ALL times, even for the simplest websites which are never intended to be reused. The initial work to get everything into the password manager is hard, but keeping it up to date is easy.
Start using a password manager NOW and use it always.

DefinitelyKeePass for me as well. I particularly like the keyfile feature where you need your master password plus a key file/pen/whatever to unlock the database

It should be definitely an open source project.
I use Keepass, standard client on PC (with download favicons plugin), and Keepass2Android on the smartphone. The database file is in cloud (Google Drive). Nice and easy, I now store everything precious inside my keepass database. In case of an emergency you just have to remember (and maybe pass to others) two passwords: cloud (Google Drive) and Keepass database file.

Same here. I use KeePass with the HIBPOffline plugin (checks "I've been powned" database). I sync the database across my computers and phone on a regular basis.

PasswordSafe [^] and store the file in dropbox, does the job with limited bells and whistles. I've been using it for many years (too lazy and disinterested in looking at alternatives)

Agree. It has an app for phone as well.

Roll your own.
I would call mine "UNsafe".

That would be way too advanced... Notepad would be enough... sure...

I use keypass. you can run it on pc phones etc and the database is stored locally and does allow you to have multiple databases.
It is used extensively at work by IT, but work tries to push lastpass to the users which has it advantages, but I prefer keypass.

I used to use KeePass until I forgot my KeePass password.

Keepass, the interface looks a bit outdated but it has good functionality like synchronization and it is cross platform.

I keep all my passwords in an unencrypted textfile called "passwords.txt" in my Dropbox. Do you mean that's not safe?

Depending on where your computer is, and who else has physical access to it, that's probably more secure.

Rename it sdrowssap.txt to double your security.

But then I'd probably not be able to find it when I need it myself...

I wrote my own, using a binary file of my own format with encrypted content. It's not perfect but then I don't have anything worth stealing.

1Password. I've been using it for over a decade, since it was Mac-only. I now use it on iOS, macOS and Windows, and it's been bullet-proof for me. I use it to store & generate passwords (most of my passwords now are 20+ characters of (effectively) line-noise), generate timed one-time passwords (aka 2-factor auth), store payment details for easy filling in, as well as storing 'secure notes'.
It is a subscription service, and does share passwords (encrypted, of course) in AgileBits's cloud, if those are deal-breakers to you.

I have been using RoboForm for over 15 years and use it to manage over 700 unique login/passwords. It has both local and cloud management of your encrypted password files. While I only use it on multiple desktop and laptop computers, it also has a mobile device version for your phone. You can find it here: RoboForm: Manage your passwords with ease and security[^]

I have been using this for years.
It works across all your devices.(If you want it to)
The Passwords are encrypted at rest, (and of course in transit)
You can download all your data, if you want a local copy.
They have a way to recover your data, should you be totally incapacitated.
Take a look at it before you commit.
Keep It Simple, keep it moving.
