I wouldn't use any browser password manager, last time I even looked at one they were saving my passwords in plaintext!
Bitwarden, one pass, keepass, basically anything other than LastPass should be good!
thank you for the rec! a small doubt even though they are in plaintext, when the hackers can't log in aren't they safe tho or is it easy to hack?
Most viruses now start off by scooping up all saved browser passwords automatically then sending them to a remote server. So if one of those ever goes off on your system you are at quite a risk. Especially since there are really good other options that aren't vulnerable to that
