As there are many (and good) answers here, I may have missed one point - which I will raise: Check the fallback / fail scenario(s).
Here is my example: I've been using 1password since 2008ish. I've purchased every upgrade since then and even had more than one license. All was fine: Data was local, there was some backup method and some plain text export.
Some time ago, 1Password decided to go cloud and change to a subscription for using the software for new users. The client I have on my mac still works fine, but the only option was to "rent" the password management that stored my data on their servers.
The owners sugarcoated this in every way (pet peeve: Talking in their mails about something completly different like recipes, then "by the way, subscription only in 3,2,1 ...").
I will not buy into being fully dependent on someone else when it comes to access to all of my online and offline systems. And you should not, too. Same goes for any company.
So any of the suggested tools here should do two things: Work independent on an online/sync-connection (and be able to access/modify data untill online connection has been reestablished). And be able to export data in a format that can be transformed/read by most of the others.
I switched to my own local instance of Bitwarden (Vaultwarden) and use the client for any device I own. Switch took about half a day and I never looked back.
