I'm kind of in the same boat as you, I still use 1Password as my day to day password manager, but rather than having the windows version installed on any computers I now look up the password on my phone and type it out. All my windows (work related) password needs are met by devolutions remote desktop manager (enterprise, expensive, server based, and includes its own password management) I don't want to pay for a subscription for any of these, and I'm steering in the direction of using either Firefox or Chromes built in password management I did try out last pass a few years ago before they were bought by the logmein people, and it seemed similar to 1Password but the logmein company steers people to the subscription model by taking features away from the free offering once its reached a mass of users. I didn't feel like playing that game
