Keepass is great, use it at work.
1Password for my personal stuff
Lastpass has had too many leaks / issues for me to ever trust them again
Selfhosting Vaultwarden (Bitwarden)
I've been using KeePass and KeePassdroid for at least 10 years now. "Sync" my dB through one drive, only because at one time we were allowed to use our personal one at work, but since they blocked personal folders in favor of corporate ones it is much less handy.
I used to use Dashlane but when I found out bitwarden was free I just started using that
KeepassXC with syncthing
KeePass still too! I use keepass2 on Android and it's basically changed my life. Auto fill w/ bio unlock...it's the BEST
Self hosted vaultwarden for personal use and pass at work.
Password managers are for suckas, I just use password123 for everything.

Keepass and Strongbox.
I don’t like the honeypot that is anything too centralized, even if it is e2e encrypted. I’d be worried about exploits or compromised client payloads.
Bitwarden all the way
Enpass, no puplic hosting. Clients in phone and PC. You can use your own services if you want to upload or keep it in a folder on the phone.

KeepassXC and Keepass2Android
For work I use 1Password, for at home I use Bitwarden.
I used to use KeePass, but switched to https://www.passwordstore.org with a YubiKey after discovering how janky the KeePass 2FA system is designed a while back.

1Password. Wasn't thrilled with their move to electron, but it hasn't been as bad as I feared, and they've earned my trust at this point
Doesn't hurt that my work now uses it, so I get the family plan for free either
I’m entirely in the Apple ecosystem, so I use the built in Keychain, synced across devices through iCloud.
It would be Bitwarden otherwise.

1Password is a genuine life saver.
I use 1password, I used KeePass for years but it didn't work will on Android so I moved on.
Also using 1Password, works great for what my family needs.
KeePassXC and Keepass2Android auto-synced with my Nextcloud instance. Works great cross-platform for Linux/Windows/Android.
I know what you mean, trusting a SaaS provider with my master password list always felt like a bad plan.
Another vote for Bitwarden. Works on everything I use!
Another happy KeepassXC user here! Keepass2android on Android. I keep the passwords synced with nextcloud
Dashlane here. I self host a lot and could definitely use Keypass or something locally, but the risk of losing all your passwords if I fuck something up was too great. I'll pay professionals.

My approach is a bit more complicated than of many commenters here: I use both Keepass and Bitwarden.
Bitawarden is for most of the passwords, and I use it to share some passwords with family.
Keepass is for the most sensitive stuff - online banking and emails. Also, I use it for non-web apps. Keepass DB is synced with Syncthing between desktop and mobile.
TOTP is handled by Aegis android app. I was thinking to move it to Keepass, but I really like interface of a dedicated app. And it's data automatically backed up to Nextcloud

I rolled my own, actually. I don't store any passwords (even encrypted). Instead, I just append the site name to my base password (which is in my head), hash it, and base-52 it. (I also start each password with the same uppercase letter, lowercase letter, punctuation mark, just to ensure it gets past any bullshit filters)
I like that there's nothing that can be leaked (except what's in my head) and nothing to be lost and nothing to back up.
Can you please elaborate on each step. I'm not sure on the hash and base52 - do you use a program you're written to do that for you? A simple example would be fantastic.

Bitwarden enjoyer here
I use OneNote, with a bunch of coded words that mean other things and mix and match those to make longer passwords that are all different. Because I'm too lazy for a real app, and this is secure enough and useful enough.

Keepass on OneDrive, so I can access it from my computer and phone.
Bitwarden here too
