I held off on using a password manager for a long time. I used an open source one for my buisness for a while but almost lost the file in a computer failure, lucky I had a backup.... . somewhere.
After that I looked at a cloud option and finally settled on one, then the business died down and I kept using it for my personal stuff. I can't believe I didn't use one earlier. Life is so much easier now, no need to go between my bad password, Medium, and strong. Everything just gets a random password now and no need to worry about a string of 2fa messages hitting my phone when a password gets pwned.
If you use them consciously, they are an incredible help. I have been using them for more than 15 years without problems, I have been using Bitwarden for about 5 years now and it is by far the best.
I use iOS, but I will say Bitwarden all the way, even if it’s implementation is not perfect on iOS. I’m sure it’s even better on Android.
I've been rocking the new proton pass, had good luck with it so far.
I'm using KeePassXC and syncing the db over cloud storage, but sometimes updating the db gets tricky if it is contemporary opened on more devices, one instance in each different app (e.g. mobile and desktop at the same time, db stored on nextcloud/GDrive/OneDrive or even just synced over syncthing). I'd prefer the apps would simply access the db like the FF Extension does, while the db file is opened only by a single server, always running app somewhere reachable.
That's why I'm also always thinking about maybe I should switch to Bitwarden, which is equally reliable as security goes and even more usable, but then I get a bit off put the SaaS nature of it, and its limitations too, for instance even the paid tier has only 1GB of storage space, while I use KeepassXC as vault to store a lot of legal documents too, which in time could easily gets to 1GB, but on the other hand its server nature approach makes it a lot more usable on the user end.
I use SafeInCloud, compatible with all the operaring systems I use and I only had to pay a one time fee of 5 dollars (if I remember correctly).
Self hosting one isn't difficult and allowz you to maintain a high level of security
I use one, but I back up my passwords once a month to an encrypted sdcard just in case.

I started with LastPass but they started making things difficult enough on the mobile side that I decided to jump ships. Bitwarden also is a smoother app to use - LastPass felt clunkier (I've used only the free side on both).
I think it's a requirement since it's much safer than having simpler and/or reused passwords across all your accounts. Used to use LastPass and Firefox Lockwise but after various issues I'm now a happily paying user of 1password, it's great and I've converted my somewhat tech illiterate family over to it. I'd try out KeePass but there's no way I'd want to administer that for my family.
Used Dashlane for years. Works great on PC, android, macs. Comes with VPN which i rarely use but nice to have when needed.
