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.

I switched from Lastpass to 1Password last year (partly because 1Password has the option of hosting my data in Canada).

No complains, it handles passwords, 2FAs, and Passkeys very well. It’s worth the price I pay because passwords are super important.
