Chromium's own password manager has the best usability and I have a lot more faith in it being secure than a third party one attempting to integrate into the browser via an extension. On Android, there's OS autofill support, but it's still trusting more than just the browser.
I genuinely just keep track of passwords with a text file on both my workstation and phone.
Storage Scopes feature on GrapheneOS is nice for this since you never need to grant apps access to storage and can have a bunch of sketchy apps in the same profile as sensitive data.

how do you keep the text file up to date on your devices?

Yep, for sure. I just haven't migrated to it. In theory Chromium's password manager is less likely to suffer from an attack like "you think you're entering a password on X but it's actually Y" since it can share the url parsing code with the browser.
