The best password manager is a notepad, an ACTUAL physical notepad, that you keep in your desk drawer with detailed information regarding all your passwords.

There is NO password manager that you can keep ON your computer that will ever be 100% safe. If somebody can hack their way into your system, then they can sure as hell figure out a way to crack any other protections you might have unless everything is full encrypted and even then these days, that is getting to not be the security that you might think it is. There are always ways for nefarious people to get at your information. They don't even need to get onto your computer to get it. They just need to get into OTHER systems, like the ones you ENTER that information to when you are online. Those places are far less secure than anybody believes them to be and that is where the majority of stolen passwords and personally identifying information is obtained from.

They aren't usually going to go looking for it on YOUR system when it is so much easier for them to get it from some random website or company server.

I've only used LastPass and 1Password. 1Password requires a yearly subscription to use however.

If there's a standout feature security wise that 1Password has that AFAIK nobody else does, it's that 1Password also requires a randomly generated key to get access to your password vault the first time you log into it. This is mostly a preventative measure so that if someone gets a hold of your login credentials, unless they have the randomly generated key as well, they can't access your vault. As far as being hackable by hackers, nothing is 100% secure. At best these companies can do is make it harder for someone to decrypt the password vault. As a security measure, all encryption is done on the local computer before being sent to them for backing up, so the services don't even know how to decrypt your vault.

If you don't trust a company to manage your vault, you can use KeePass which keeps the vault on the local computer. You can back up the vault and whatnot, but all the management these services would've provided now has to be handled by you.

Alternatively, you can also use something like Password Card, which gives you a grid of random characters you can use as a password. All you have to remember at that point are the start point, stop point, and the direction you're going. Even if you leave this out in the open, it's pretty useless to someone.

Fault with that is "company". That simply refutes the idea that there anything relevant to "security" involved. We already know this. If you ACTUALLY think any of these companies are using or doing anything that makes anything more secure than the companies that have ONE job, which is to secure your financial information, and are unable to do it, then you are seriously fooling yourself. Trust none of them and whenever possible, delete ALL of your financial and card information from their retained "profiles" for you except when you actually need to use it. The others, not much you an do, but you don't have to do it on PURPOSE. I would recommend the smallest footprint possible and then delete the footprint in any case where that is something you are able to do. I don't even allow Amazon to keep my card or info. Every time. Entered new.
