Keypass is my ninja. I'm never not using a password manager.

Went LastPass (avoid) -> 1Password -> Bitwarden. Pretty happy with BW, as it has reasonable integrations on Android. Prior to that, i was using a UNIX tool called "pass", which used GPG and allow some degree of organization. I still use it for some stuff.

They should be a hard requirement to anyone that wants to access the internet by now. Although the ones built-in to the operating system such as Gnome keyring, Kwallet, Windows Credential Manager and Apple Keychain are OK, the third party ones are 100% better.
Personally I use KeepassXC and just have it synced across different devices via Syncthing. While I also keep weekly backup copies (without the Key file) on Mega with it zipped and password protected.
1Password all the way. Holds my passwords and all of my 2FA codes. I understand it’s a single point of failure but I’m comfortable with their architecture and I don’t feel like self hosting stuff.
Yes, it saves on the odd site I use once a year and trying to have to remember that.
It's a must.
Absolutely worth it. It's the only way to actually adhere to password best practices.
I've been using Microsoft authenticator for work, and since it was there I also started using it for my personal accounts and passwords as well. It works well enough, never had any issues.

Since i started using KeypassX, My memory just got worse
I’ve been using Bitwarden for years and also use the Apple password manager on my phone and iPad so I have a copy in case something happens.
I also keep some less sensitive work passwords on chrome because I don’t want to open Bitwarden at work.
I've used Keepass or Keepass XC for years. They are great!
And, since KP is offline, you don't have the same security risks as the cloud hosted password managers. If you were really paranoid, you could put your KP database file on a USB so it's never online.
Plus, even if someone were to somehow acquire a current version of your database file, it's heavily encrypted. By the time they crack it you should've changed your passwords anyway.

I don't use a PM because I'm too paranoid about losing access to it (hardware failure, file corruption), thus losing access to all accounts it protects. I end up writing down my passwords on paper. Not the full thing, just a personal reminder.
The real irony is that an "easily stolen" piece of paper is safer than anything i leave on my computer or phone
Using Bitwarden here. All is good but sometimes the auto-fill feature doesn't work well.

I've been using 1password ever since it was first released on iOS and I gotta say it's awesome! Whatever you use, stay far away from Lastpass ... they are a security nightmare.
I know a lot of people are saying Bitwarden, but I've been using 1Password for 4 years and Bitwarden just isn't a viable replacment.
1Password looks much more modern and their organizational tools are not present at all in Bitwarden. I can't even sort by date created or modified in Bitwarden.
Not using a password manager is like not having locks on a house. Everyone should have one and if you don't, you're risking a lot of valuable stuff being taken from you.
I use EnPass since it came out. Bought the lifetime license back when it cost about 8€.
