#1321Password. Don't know what they're about on Windows, as I'm happy to not use this shit anymore. On Mac and iPhone, I can happily use the newest version without any subscription or anything (which I didn't even knew about)..
The OP stated "I'm a bit unhappy with 1Password".

#133I use iCloud Keychain on macOS and iOS. Both operating systems include a rudimentary interface for managing passwords, and automatically store passwords entered in Safari. Keychain Access on macOS also allows to create secure notes on iCloud Keychain.

It works perfectly with Wine as well.

#135Google passwords. I trust their engineering, it's free, passwords are accessible as long as I have a browser and it comes with Chrome. Negatives: I can't do backups, easily migrate to another supplier and it won't work automatically with other browsers. And it's Google (feels privacy invasive)
This isn't a really great solution, in my opinion. Anyone with access to your google account, or anyone with physical access to any of your synced devices could lift your passwords easily.
Wouldn't anyone with access to my two factor authenticated Google/gmail account be able to reset most of my passwords anyway? The biggest risk is perhaps a rogue Chrome extensions scraping the password page when I visit it.

#136I used pwclip [1] for several years but I no longer believe that hash-based password managers are the best plan. Now I'm using Seal [2], which is like pass but doesn't depend on gpg.

#137I memorize my passwords and reuse them to a large extent. Strength of the password is actually a lot less important than the website's security and the value of the account.
* relatively weak/old passwords for sites I don't care about and would lose nothing if they were compromised (vast majority)
* a couple relatively strong passwords for the 5-6 sites I don't want compromised, but wouldn't have huge consequences and could be email recoverable.
* unique strong passwords for a couple vital services such as email account.
The re-use depends somewhat on how much I trust the site's security. Also I cycle occasionally by introducing new passwords at the "top" and moving those passwords "down" to less important sites.

#138> I'm a bit unhappy with 1Password. I don't want a subscription service, I want something that keeps an encrypted file that I can put in dropbox. > What is everyone else using these days? I use a self made password matrix in paper.
How does that work?

Yeah. I actually used to use Dashlane, which has some really crazy cool features like auto-password-changer or something like that.
I switched to 1Password because the quality of support for Dashlane just kept getting lower and lower, and 1Password started getting some really nice features.
Some day I might switch over to `pass` as it's free.

The OP stated "I'm a bit unhappy with 1Password".
OP also asked what people are using. They're not mutually exclusive statements.
I use 1Password and I don't pay a subscription. I pay them outright, per platform, and call it a day until they give me a reason to do something else. I've also set up other recently in similar patterns. If OP's only issue is the subscription, they may now be aware that there are non-subscription options.
