Never re-use a password between services; every password for every system should be unique. Use a “password manager” to help.
Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) / multi-factor authentication (MFA) on any platform/service you can. It makes logging in a little longer but it makes these kinds of attacks much harder to pull off.
I do not know the solution. In a few years password managers will be seen as bad things, it’s a collection of all your passwords ffs how is that really any safer?
If it’s stored locally, has a strong password (it should be a very strong passphrase. I don’t know how long mine is, but more than 40 characters), and is encrypted (which any good password manager should be), then it should be fine. I don’t see any issue, at least not a reasonable alternative. Now using a password manager service that you’re trusting with your data probably isn’t a great idea.
I use KeepassXC. It’s free and open source. The android app I use is KeepassDX, though there are others, and I use Synchthing to synchronize changes between devices.

Suggested password manager:
Whatever password manager you choose don’t choose last pass lasspass breach
If it is data someone can get it.
