The most important password is your e-mail. If you lose that then you can lose everything. It's the only password I don't save in a password manager.

Uhm, that's why you should have 2FA/MFA.
Not having your password stored in a password manager doesn't make it bulletproof.
I use 2FA/MFA when I can but most sites don't support it.
password managers feel like vendor lock in. what happens if i need to move to another manager, or i need to sync everything to my phone. they go out of business, they decide to charge more. or if i pay for it and now i cant pay for it anymore.
if i sound like an idiot, id love to hear why btw! heh

I use 1Password, and they have an easy CSV export. The lock-in is very weak.
If they were to suddenly disappear, or I can't pay for it, I still have the local copies on my devices that I could export and move to some other system.
I started off with keepass, then moved to lastpass for better sync, then moved to 1password because I didn't like how lastpass works. Each of them support various forms of exporting/importing logins, so there's not much risk of vendor lockin with those. I'd assume it's the same for other managers, but you'd have to check.
My biggest issue has been that I only saved passwords when I started with keepass instead of username+passwords, which lastpass all imported as secure notes instead of logins.
I use KeePassXC with a password and key file. I sync the database, but not the file, using Syncthing. On the whole a satisfied customer, although the browser integration isn't perfect.
