I don't see anything wrong with using Apple's built-in Keychain password
manager. The only drawback it has is that it's Apple-only, and that has
never been a reason not to use it for me. Most of my family uses it and
is happy with it.

The iCloud Keychain service is optional and seamlessly synchronizes your
password database between all of your Apple devices. It is also highly
encrypted using end-to-end encryption so that it cannot be accessed by
anyone but you.

Others here will recommend cross-platform solutions, but if you have no
need for synchronizing your password database to other platforms,
Apple's built-in Keychain is quite a secure and capable solution, and
it's integrated with all of Apple's operating systems by default.
