It is the best way to do it for the average user.
Modern password management services are incredibly secure, with client-side encryption of your secrets, among other protective mechanisms (to guard against keyloggers, stolen computers, ...)
There is still a risk, because you're trusting third-party software (which in some cases is closed-source – including 1Password), but for most people that is a much lower risk profile than if they were managing passwords themselves.
