Ideally Bitwarden, Keepass or what have you should be printed on a piece of paper and put in a safe.
If anyone gets access to my weapon safe I got bigger problems to think about (no, not the weapon(s) but whatever has caused the situation.)

As a software engineer you should know that you could use multiple redundant open source password managers with your password database backed up multiple times and remove your current single point of failure (your memory).

Sorry but as a software developer myself, I can't trust a piece of software to store all my passwords and thus be a single point of failure for my entire digital life.

With a single OS user account? Even android tablets these days come with multi-user support.

Do you not have a password, and preferably full-disk encryption, on them?
