I used to use KeePassXC, it works fantastic. After a few too many friends and family members started asking me about internet safety due to getting their accounts compromised, I spun up a Vaultwarden instance for us to share.

MODERATORS
Bitwarden is open source (server, plugin and app) and can be self-hosted so it's not centralised in any way that matters.
Also, I think an honest freemium offering is the best way to do it - have those that are willing/able to pay subsidise those who aren't. It doesn't have to be a slippery slope, and that's not exactly common in the open-source world. After all, you can just fork it and go your own way if you're not happy. Also, running servers isn't free, and being able to remunerate the devs a little is no small thing.
So, in summary, use Bitwarden. You can set up your own server and install the plugin/app yourself if you want.
My favourite is Bitwarden. FOSS, privacy-respecting, secure and possible to self host: what more could you want?
This is what I use as well. As it does not come with any cloud storage (a feature imo) I sync it with syncthing - another great foss, privacy-friendly project.
Self hosted bitwarden (vaultwarden). I think vaultwarden has the paid for features too (or some of them) but I don't use them so I'm not sure.
KeepassXC. I like to keep things in a physical file. It also supports key files
PwSafe (https://pwsafe.org)
The format is completely open and there are many implementations and apps. I have used the file (in that format) for at least 20 years. I've gone through different apps as they come and go. I sync the data file between all my systems/devices using a Nextcloud server.
My current main apps are Password Gorilla (on Linux - also works on Windows), Strongbox on iPhone, and PasswdSafe on Android-based devices (such as /e/).
I use 1Password, but I'm probably going to migrate to a self hosted Vaultwarden before my next renewal.
