I use Password Safe by Bruce Schneier. It secures your passwords in a LOCAL file, not on the cloud, encrypted, and has a generator in it for creating the idiotically-complex passwords some systems require (upper and lower case, at least one of a set of special characters, at least one number, 12-20 characters long, yada yada...), and it's FREE. You can even get it on a preinstalled authenticator token such as the Yubikey.
