What are the best alternatives besides cloud keychains. Coming from sharing same password for multiple accounts, cloud keychain has been step up for me security wise. I'm honestly curious what are the better alternatives.

> Secure Tool for Recalling Important Passwords (STRIP). STRIP uses heavy-duty, 128-bit triple-Data Encryption Standard to store information, and that means any information -- credit-card numbers, Web site accounts and voice-mail access codes. STRIP (Zetetic Enterprises, free) is also a great tool for IT managers who administer distributed environments. It can random-generate complex passwords and allows account information to be beamed between Palms, so the IT staff can stay up-to-date.

1Password is reputed. Or KeepassXC if you prefer something to self-host

Something independent and cross platform like bitwarden.
