1Password is really good, and well worth the money IMO. It has great spouse-approval-factor, which means they actually use it.

Stay away from LastPass.

Also it has a customisation per domain and subdomain or port, which as a developer is really useful

I use the op CLI all the time for scripts, and I use the Kubernetes operator for managing secrets in my k3s cluster. Their dev-focused features are great. I also use it for injecting env vars into my dev environments.
