The key here should not be on ranking the best password managers; but recognizing the risks. For many years, I used the same or similar passwords, carrying them around in my head. Then there were enough for me to have to write them down. But that list only helped at home. When away, I could be locked out. And the passwords were still way too simple. After I migrated to Apple products, I eventually discovered Keychain. This is a simple way to store the passwords I choose, accesible on all my devices, with a reasonable degree of security. Now I can use the suggested seventeen-character passwords, and never have to worry about remembering or inputting them. Of course, this amps up the importance of my Apple password - the one I have to remember. But now I can set my phone for facial ID, and my ipad for fingerprint (which works less well). No, I don’t worry over thieves forcing me to access my phone, or cutting off my thumbs. It’s the hidden hackers I’m trying to beat.
