I used to use BitWarden but switched to 1Password about a year ago once I decided to buy a business account for my department at work (which gives every user a free family account)
1Password is fantastic. It stores more than passwords, it's fine tuned to do that, but really can be used to store anything securely. The dev team uses it to share secure .env variables and API keys for example.
One of the best features though is the ability to share secured links to VIEW passwords outside of your network. When a coworker asks me to share an account password I don't just copy and paste the username and password over email. I click share in 1Password and shoot them a link that only they can view (using email 2fa). I can also make more open links to shared credentials that expire (or until I expire those links myself).
The phone app works great and once you get it set up on one device it's easy to configure it on others.
I have 1Password for the family plan and even my dad can use it (mostly)
