So far, I have been storing my passwords in a ... notes app in my phone. I want a more secure way to store them, which won't make me lose my passwords if my device suddenly dies. I really want to be able to have an app to store all my passwords on both android and linux/windows. Is there any app that does just that? I have heard of bitwarden, but I am not sure if it serves my needs or if it is good. I would love it if someone recommended me a specific app!

best method: a paper notebook with very clear writing, kept in a safe and private place.

#

other method: a text file put into a password-protected (encrypted) ZIP file, the zip password kept as a master, either fully memorized in your head and/or written in notebook.

#

other method, susceptible to online hacking: password managers such as keepassxc, bitwarden, etc

The easiest option if you don't want to deal with setting things up is Bitwarden, a potentially more secure option (that wouldn't be as easy to setup) could be an encrypted zip file or Keepass database file in something like Google Drive or OneDrive
