I am also using 1Password since ages. Using a password manager is a great investment into your security. There are so many data leaks and reusing passwords is bad practice and will create headaches.
I am looking for alternatives though, since 1Password is getting worse.
1Password is an expense I cringe at every year. After trying several others, though,I settled on its expensive-but-simple option. The biggest advantage is that my family uses it - wife, daughter, parents, in-laws - on my family account. We have several shared vaults for passwords which affect subsets from in-laws sharing critical financial passwords with her, my parents with me, to my daughter and I teaming up on Starbucks and Panera.
The best part is that it’s simple enough for our octogenarian parents to use, and I help set it all up and got their emergency recovery kits created, filled out, and stored in their safety deposit boxes. As long as I can keep them using it I’ll keep paying for it.
The family plan has me sold too. Sharing login credentials including 2FA with my wife for things like our utility bills and streaming logins is extremely handy, and for other things like investment accounts set up for our son just feels necessary. I use the share feature a lot outside the family too. I’ll share my Paramount login with my friend, but the password is 20 random characters, so I send a link to my saved login and he can copy the user and password.

I’ve been using 1password since 2019 . It’s worked really well for me.
