I actually use keepassium with a local only copy on my phone. Occasionally I'll store away a backup on an encrypted USB.

I've never felt comfortable with storing all my passwords in one place online. How many times has Lastpass been breached?

I admit, if I lost the phone I would have a bad day (and actually almost locked myself out of everything last time I swapped phones), but I'd rather have to reset my passwords for something stupid I did, rather than having to do it because my password manager vendor was compromised.
