I have been strongly recommending 1Password for many years (I do tech security as a part of my professional work).

In my professional opinion there are four realistic options (that have been around for a long time and have a good reputation and which I have done serious research into) for anyone who is not up to researching the tech and security implications themselves:

For the more technical users you may wish to investigate KeePass (see KeePassXC for desktop, but there are a lot of other options as well for desktop and mobile), but being free open source there are support caveats: The different apps are all maintained by different people; you will need to know some technical stuff; lalala this is an open road motorcycle club; please consider wisely.

The other other solution is actually a physical Little Black Book - this is an actual serious possibility recommendation from some serious security professionals as well. It is hard to hack an actual book. But - it is hard to back up, it certainly has a higher risk of loss, and transporting it is a pain, etc.

P.S.: I used to recommend LastPass but they have had severe security breaches in 2022 that have not been well responded to. I recommend moving away from them.
