KeePassXC

I used KeePassX 0.4.4 works up to OS X 10.11 and then, after some
testing, settled to KeePassXC.

I use the same .kdbx file at work with a KeePass Windows standalone
version and it works great.

I have advocated KeePass to the rest of the family and some use it and
some don't preferring the iCloud keychain which also seems to work OK
with less hassle.

Does it put a text file containing the passwords on your computer or are
you completely reliant on the thing ALWAYS working forever?

No. You're reliant on the software continuing to work -- the "database"
file is encrypted.

Equivalent of being reliant on say gpg continuing to work to decrypt a
text file or something.

I have a master .kdbx file and occasionally copy it to my other accounts
via sneaker net (iOS devices, Windows at work, various macOS test clones virtual machines etc). So if for some reason the master does not work
(never happened yet), I can revert to those somewhat older backups. Or
if also that fails, I can revert to macOS Keychain.

Overall, it's much easier to remember and much harder to forget 10 complicated passwords that you use everyday than 100+ simple passwords
you use every month or even less.

I can't speak about Windows version of KeePass, because with the
exception of playing games not available on Macintosh, I haven't used
one since Windows 95 days.

I have the older version (non-subscription) of 1Password, but also make use of the keychain password manager and the manager built-in to Safari (I use Safari on both the mac and the ipad/iphone).

Only lately, when I'm offered a complex "strong password" of jibberish, I take it. That's working well too.

But I also use a variation on the same password: I selected two capitalized words (for instance ArchBasket with a few numbers, 245, then the first two letters of the intended website, for instance AMazon. Then I use this same password everywhere, with the exception of those last two letters. ArchBasket245am, for Powell's books: ArchBasket245po.

It's easy to remember.

With the latter system, if someone ever found out your
Powell's password (say, a rogue Powell admin), they might
easily guess your amazon & other passwords from that.

Also, if you should occasionally change a password, what
are you going to change it to? Your system doesn't allow
a lot of variation.

(i keep passwords in an encrypted excel file. Excel
always works, and it's safe for cloud storage.)

I'm really glad this topic came up. I'm sorting through the drek of old users/passwords in Safari's stash, and Firefox's and 1Password v6 which I now realize hasn't been working in Safari, but has in Firefox. It's a total mess.
I think I'll spend a few days trying to sort it out...
