Sorry to arrive late to this discussion, but it's been a busy summer!
In my opinion as an IT/security engineer, password managers are mandatory.
It's a perfect example of "Never send a man to do a machine's job." Our
brains aren't adapted to randomness, which is needed with good security
practice.
I also used LastPass for years (they had a "free" version that made them
attractive, but it also made them a big target).As explained earlier, they
failed to keep the trust of their users by not disclosing their breaches,
so I've migrated from them to 1Password. I've been very happy with it, and
have found it highly reliable.
I don't like using the browser password managers, as I haven't found them
to be sufficiently secure. 1Password does handle Passkeys as well. It also
reminds you to update passwords that have been exposed in a breach, and has
a very good password generator.
I've looked at BitWarden (they have a self-hosted version), but haven't had
enough time to give it a run through.
