Depends on your level of technical skill. Avoid LastPass like the plague, their security is laughable. I used to use them until I got burned in their 2022 breach. Otherwise the two main ones I know of are Bitwarden/vaultwarden and the various forks of KeePass.
I use Bitwarden and I'm fairly happy with it. I use it hosted, but there's the option to self host via the official server or vaultwarden. Neither of which I have experience with, but it's nice that they exist in case of enshittification.
KeePass I'm less familiar with. Seems like you have to self host, and there's a few different forks floating around. Seems like a fairly significant investment of time and energy and I honestly don't trust myself to keep a self hosted solution secure anyway.
I think nextcloud also has a password module, but I know next to nothing about that.
You don't "host" keepass, it's an encrypted file you keep synced however you want.
Not only has LastPass had a couple of data breaches in recent years, they also changed their pricing so you now have to pay if you want to use their app on desktop and mobile. Basically, they're charging for what Bitwarden offers for free.
