Regarding Password Managers, you can put a little extra effort into setup with KeePass + SyncThing to avoid using 3rd parties at all.

Highly recommend not relying on a cloud provider for this kind of thing. You're just asking for one of two things to happen:

Their servers get compromised
They decide to shut down

I know you can self-host with vaultwarden, but if you're not a self-hoster then it's a little bit simpler to setup SyncThing and use the kdbx format.
