I'm a big fan of 1Password. I've been paying for it for years. A few years ago I got my partner setup in a few minutes and now they have strong passwords everywhere. Its got great features for sharing vaults with other people so I've got password managers setup for the kids too. My partner and I both have personal vaults, we have a shared vault for financial stuff, and a shared vault for our media accounts (that we share with the kids too)

I get that people bristle about SaaS subscriptions in their personal life but the $60/year it costs is well worth it. The research shows that strong passwords and limiting re-use is extremely effective at preventing account compromises and 1Password makes this dead simple.

The thing that finally made it an incredible app was when Apple finally allowed 3rd party password management in iOS.

Yes there might be better password managers out there and they might have better security. However show me an alternative with a UX that is simple enough for my 6 year old to use, that works on iOS, Android, MacOS, and now Linux.
