I really recommend switching to a password manager - it's also easier to access the passwords from other devices. For example I can use the same passwords on Firefox desktop and on Safari - iPhone (including auto-fill on iOS 12). I have good experience with 1Password (subscription paid).

I don't know about easier. having passwords in the browser syncs to all devices automatically. So it's at least as easy.

I was thinking to just have Firefox on my phone as well.
Is 1Password able to provide passwords and credit card information inside other apps?

If you use 1Password on iOS, it is now able to offer completion all over the OS, including apps. For desktop apps, copy paste.

Passwords sync just fine to Firefox on iOS too. No need for a dedicated password manager.

Yes, password managers work inside apps for logins and personal info.

LessPass is also something to consider. One way to solve the sync problem is to make it so there's nothing to sync.

You should use a password manager, there's been a few cases already where malware shows how trivial it is to steal and decrypt into plain-text passwords stored by the browser.

If I have malware on my computer, I assume it'll be able to capture my password no matter if they are encrypted or not.

Unless you have adversaries personally attacking you, your main threat is automated malware. In that case, I think that it's vastly more likely that said malware would target super-popular and totally-insecure software like the Chrome password manager, rather than something not very popular and quite secure like KeePassXC.
I personally recommend Bitwarden as a good compromise between security and usability. It's totally open source, so you can run the API and webservice on your own hardware if you want.

From Mozilla's docs, this is unclear. Possibly.

I tried that, but it only gave me the bookmarks.
