The best password manager?

So I watched Mr.Robot now I'm paranoid. (Not really) But I have now realised how terrible most of my passwords are. While going through and purging old accounts or changing the passwords I started writing them down. (Stupid I know). As a temporary method of them being vaguely secure they are now all on a libreoffice document on an old raspberry pi in my safe, but this isn't exactly convenient for when I need to remember a password. 

 

So what service should I use? Are any of them good? All the results that come up when I search for articles seem to be advertisements rather than actual research. 

 

TL:DR : I need a password manager, which ones do you lot use?

Personally, I use Keepass. I do not think it's a wise idea to use any of the online-services to store one's passwords in, sooner or later someone will get in and then everyone's hosed. As for Keepass: the database is stored locally and I always close Keepass when I don't actively need it, plus I keep a backup of the database on my phone, laptop and tablet, so even if I lost one device I'd still have the database accessible elsewhere. One good thing about Keepass is that there's also an Android-app for it.

I use KeePass (KeePassXC to be exact because macOS), because back when I started using one, there just weren't any better choices readily available. Second reason is that it is open-source and free. Considering the amount of passwords that I have stored, there is absolutely no reason for me to switch to anything else.

 

Pretty much all password managers use the same encryption (AES256), which is very secure. With KeePass you need to find yourself a solution for sharing passwords between devices, while some other providers (such as LastPass) provide you with encrypted cloud storage.
