Where do you store passwords?

In what programs do you store passwords, and what methods of automatic entry do you use? Are these vaults safe? Should I prefer such password stores to a simple .txt file?

https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/KeePass but only vents. Automatic input only from the Donkey and only that it’s not scary to squander.

properly configured KeePass + dropbox + phone version = perfect way to store passwords.
In addition to simple, unnecessary encryption functions, password protection (sarcasm), there are auto-fill functions not only on sites but also in any programs, for example, you can automatically enter a password on Skype.
Autocomplete can use "non-sequential" password entry, for example our password is 123456, kepas will enter it like 1356 then come back and insert the missing parts of the password, which gives us strong protection against any keyloggers.
The database search works with a bang, you can add input fields if there are more than two, which is important if you want to enter somewhere in Fille-zilla by entering the server address, port, login and password.

I like a program like RoboForm. Auto-input of passwords, you can selectively "password" all logins and passwords with one, so as not to lose access. And on "unimportant" accounts, you can set up auto-entry without this "password password"

I don’t trust passwords from important sites to any program, I keep them written down in a notebook (there are no more than 10 of them), I don’t really worry about the rest, they are remembered in clear text in Chrome.

1password+dropbox.
The base is encrypted with AES256, auto-input, plugins for FF \ chrome, mobile client, all the delights. It costs money, but it costs them (the free analogue is KeePass).
In addition, it is convenient to store credit card data, etc. in it. I switched to it from a password-protected xlsx file, which is less reliable and much less convenient.
Store passwords in txt, and even with synchronization to the cloud = give them to everyone.

encrypted in txt. If a service is hacked, all passwords will be leaked. And so the probability of saving is much higher.

And I just compose the password in my mind. There is a "carrier string" for all passwords. Another one is added to it. This second string is unique for each service or site. Naturally, I will not tell my algorithm, but I will give an example:
1. Under the "carrier" string we will understand our birthday + some word, for example "Blablabla". 01011900Blablabla .
2. For example, create a password for Yandex mail. We will take the first 3 letters of the service as a unique string. We get yan .
3. In addition, these lines can be concatenated with each other not in a row, but for example, insert a unique string between the second and third bla.
Result 01011900Blablayanbla
As a result, you do not need any additional programs. The only thing that can mess up your passwords are defects in the head, like insanity, amnesia, or the external impact of a hammer. But in this case, the applications won't help you :)
This example is not very resistant to hacking. If someone purposefully wants to hack you and he has your password from another service, then this is not difficult to do. My real algorithm is more stable. Here, in general, everything depends on the imagination.
