Security

It's a good idea to have a password manager with a main password to access the rest of them. Here is my recommendation that fits following needs:

Not one that is provided by a browser
Does have a browser extension
Runs on all platforms, also Linux
Uses a local password database that can be synced using a sync tool of my choice
is FOSS

KeepassXC

For the criteria above there is only Keepass XC that matches them all. It's really a good choice, not perfect, but has a lot of more advanced features as well. It has a browser plugin for Firefox

Setup

Download keepass
Create a password database. Use a master password that is long, e.g. a combo of different words separated by spaces
Go to the Settings -> Browser Integration and your browser of choice
Get the browser plugin: Firefox, Chrome

Store ssh keys

Keepass is able to store whole ssh private keys with passwords inside the db. With Ctrl+H they can be added to the ssh agent.
