After having used it personally for years, 1Password is also a great fit for teams. I have shared vaults with the people I work with and can even provide guess access to individuals for short projects at no additional charge.
Besides unique and long passwords, 1P also handles 2FA perfectly well. Not only for your personal accounts, but also the accounts in shared vaults. So even the shared login credentials benefit from OTP, on your phone and laptop.
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.
1password started as Mac-only so when I used the 1password interface the first time I actually had to search online for how to do things. It's not particularly intuitive, but once you learn how to do things it's ok. We use it at work, but I'm not a fan of using proprietary solutions for things like this and don't particularly understand why people want to pay for it, either.
Frontend developer by day, iOS developer by night. Currently working on learning iOS development and my own blog, Mike Decodes, where I'm decoding the tech industry. Come hang out with me on Twitter!

Which is fine. You might be using something that I don’t see any value in, and that’s fine too. I’m a 1Password user myself and it brings me value. I’m not here to sell you on that product 😄

They are though. They exist because people are prepared to pay for their product instead of using a free software product, so there must presumably be things people like about it that aren't in other apps.

The same reason people want to pay for any other type of software: it brings them value.
Ok, without getting too reductionist, I don't particularly understand what value it brings them.

More importantly, and something I forgot to mention, is that the question is explicitly about open source software, and 1password isn't that.
