I need to search this KeePass. I read it in other comments, but I have never heard of it before.

It's pretty good. I was using pass but keypassxc is easier. It also handles passkeys well. Here it is on Windows: https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/keepassxc-portable. For Linux, just search for it in the package manager. Not sure about Mac.

KeyPassXC is the way to go, IMO. It is wonderful. The password db is stored locally on your disk. It integrates nicely with firefox and probably other browsers too. Open source, no spyware, "just works".
