I use KeePassXC https://keepassxc.org/ to maintain my passwords. It encrypts the database with a master password and runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux and has a portable version that does not need to be installed to run. Since it's open source, there are apps (at least in Android) that you can download and use on your mobile devices.

I like this program as it lets me generate and keep custody of my own passwords not kept online by a company. Though unlikely, if they got hit by ransomware, or some other catastrophic disaster, I'm not relying on a third party that has to be online for access to my passwords that I have no idea what they are. You can always go through the password reset process if needed. I do store the encrypted database in my personal cloud that my mobile devices have access to. So if you use this, make sure you have a very strong complex master password that you won't forget and a backup somewhere that you keep up to date.

I generally do not use the same password for anything - especially financial, health, government, work, etc. For ones I need to manually type in my phone or have to change often, I like using passphrases mixed with special numbers and special characters or what is sometimes referred to as a secure version of dictionary random words. You can read a good article about strong passwords here: https://cybernews.com/best-password-man ... -password/ Examples the article uses of passphrase type passwords.
