Nearly half of observed login attempts across websites protected by Cloudflare involved leaked credentials. The pervasive issue of password reuse is enabling automated bot attacks and account takeovers on a massive scale.
How about KeePass then? It’s an encrypted local database file you can sync/backup how and where you want. There are clients to open/edit it for Android, Linux and even Windows. The Android version can use fingerprint, if your phone has this hardware.
My main issue is that it doesn’t solve the “borrowing someone’s computer” problem. With a hosted password manager, you can login to an online vault to get your passwords, but that’s not an option with keepass.
That’s a pretty rare use case though, but it is something I run into periodically.

I use lastpass and have my vault on my phone.
But I have a hard time using someone else’s browser these days . … too many custom plugins.
that’s a bit risky. the foreign computer could capture passwords.
however, in that use case, you could either display the password on the phone and manually enter it or use a portable keepass on a usb stick
