If you're going through all your site's changing passwords maybe take a look at http://simplelogin.io to also hide your email address. Some sites block you, which is ridiculous, but for the majority of sites it's a good idea.

Password-store if you are really fancy
bitwarden, proton pass,1password
I've been using keepass for 10+ years now. I store it on a USB that is only connected to the internet when I plug it in.
Bitwarden is fantastic, been using it for a long time now withour complaints.
Selfhosted or not, you can also make keepassxc portable with a usb drive.
Here is a old thread from redit explaining how to do it:
Dude.... KeepassXC has portables for linux, there is no need to mess with wine or mono. As long as you have both portable versions of KeepassXC, you will not have a problem. You can totally have your database sync between OSs.
- For Linux, just get the AppImage for the portable.
- For Windows, get the Portable ZIP archive.
- Shove them both into a USB, you have KeepassXC portable for both OSs on a stick.

My brain. Comes up with the whackiest excuses for why this-and-that password would be a great choice and how easy it would be to remember, only to later explain to me rationally why it was the wrong choice and how I should've known I'd forget it. Then again, that's just extra security. If it's only stored in my internal memory and even I can't remember it, no one else is getting in for sure.
