I have a bash script which takes in name of the website and generates a 64 character long random string(lower,upper,number,symbol), then puts that in a text file and then encrypts it with gpg using aes256 and puts that file in a dropbox synced directory. Whenever I need to use one, another option retrieves the password, and if I want to use my phone, I just use yet another option which uses qrencode to generate a QR code of the password and then display it using `display` by imagemagick so my phone can scan that to copy the password into clipboard. That's the most safe solution I came up with without trusting third-party solutions. Only downside is dependency on a Linux-powered PC.

That’s a pretty big dependency because it won’t work when you’re traveling/at work without your personal pc.

True, though having it synced on the cloud makes it possible (but with more effort) to decrypt the file. Maybe using termux in android. But yeah, that's the downside.
