I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
When you join a company you probably have to use whatever they give you access to.
For personal stuff, I use Bitwarden. I think I was turned on to it from a thread here a couple of years ago, actually.
I used to use LastPass, and Bitwarden is mostly a copy of their UI, so the transition was simple. It's free software though.
You can roll your own if you want, it's no different from hiding passwords in a notebook under your bed - it's not like you're writing a crypt library and telling other people to use it or anything.
Other things I've done include keeping text files GPGd in whatever cloud storage I had at the time.
I literally did the same thing. Good decision I think though now that lastpass has gotten greedy about allowing you to only use the app on either your phone or computer but not both.

It's not really greedy when it's a service and product they're supplying without a cost attached.
