I keep all mine in a Keepass file across multiple USB drives that get updated about once a month. Wife has one, one lives at my mothers house, and I keep one on me - at all times airgapped so no risk to have them exfiltrated either. Keepass has some plugins in order to support 2FA as well. This keeps me using unique passwords everywhere, TOTP codes easily accessible, wife can get access to something if she needs; she knows my master password scheme - but is not really a technophile so she doesn't really want to mess with it unless she has to.
Keepass 2 also has an emergency sheet you can print as well to hide in a safe. It has all of your passwords and master passwords too. Keep another one offsite (plus USB stick with kbdx file) and you'll be good.
"Keepass2" seems like it's an Android app. I will never store my passwords on a device which is literally designed to steal your data. Granted, it's probably still a million times better than trying to trust someone like Lastpass, but I'm paranoid.
Keepass 2 is an open source software for desktop that was ported to Android and iOS. Frankly both phones and desktops spy on you so much I don't consider either any more secure.
Android has a Linux kernel that sits on top of another locked down kernel which has full access to everything, in binary blobs that prevent recreation of the environment by you or I from source code. There's a big difference.
