I second the recommendation of Bitwarden.  I used to use Lastpass but
they discontinued their free version, and the entry-level price was
just too high. I was so impressed with Bitwarden's support that I did
end up subsribing to their lowest-level paid service even though I
don't really need any of the extras that gets me.  It's also nice to
know that I can set up my own Bitwarden server if I want to.

If you're using Bitwarden's cloudy storage, don't forget to back up
your password database locally too.  I always back it up in human
readable format and then encrypt it using openssl command-line
methods. You don't want to have to depend on either Bitwarden's
servers or the Bitwarden app to retreive your passwords.
