Thanks for the link.
I consider myself lucky because whenever Google Password Manager asks me if I want to save a new password, I decline.
It is very easy to manage passwords using an Excel file secured with a password. Just need to retrieve this password by writing it down somewhere on a piece of paper. -

Personally, I don't actually rely on it, since I use 1Password (with MFA), which has been rock solid for me, GPM is more of a supplement to handle often-used internal addresses (e.g. 10.5.x.x, etc) to devices which wouldn't actually be vulnerable even if those PWDs got leaked. Regardless, I have HUNDREDS, and they're all there.
BTW, please for your own safety, do NOT use text/doc, dB or excel-based password lists! Such a big security risk.

Keepass has local encrypted file using AES256. Tons of features like password generation, attach files to entries, integrates with browser.

I don't know about the details for how MS protects an excel file but a quick Google search says AES 256 encryption. Typical method is brute forcing a dictionary attack. If you are using a strong password that method doesn't work and it's no easy task. This gets even harder if the method used to verify the password has been made to be computationally expensive on purpose. Fractions of second long is irrelevant to a user opening the file but it's an eternity even with a 8 character password that has 6,634,204,312,890,625 possible combinations when using upper/lower case, numbers and special characters.
