1password used to be the best paid solution out there, and Keepass(in various versions) the best free/OSS version.
These days AgileBits(the 1password people) are doing everything they can to get everyone onto a subscription plan, and are breaking local vaults slowly. Most people don't seem to recommend it anymore.
Now you have other options:
* KeepassXC (the latest seemingly well-recommended keepass variant - but there are a bunch of them)
* Bitwarden (it's OSS and can support author(s) with payment. Can run on your own server/machine while still supporting cross device sync)
* Pass (and the go variant, and the Qt variant) uses GPG under the hood, basically just a directory/git repo full of encrypted text files. Sync across devices is your problem.
I'm seriously evaluating Bitwarden to replace 1Password as it's pretty simple to understand and has a similar strategy as 1Password security wise, but is OSS.
