After a bit of research I went with Enpass.
The desktop version is free, no ongoing subscription fee for the app, just a one off cost.
Password vaults are stored on your device and synchronised using the cloud storage solution of your choice, not the app providers servers.

Most password generators seem to be part of password managers these days. -
List of Password Managers - That list gives a comparison of managers and their features. There are links to other Wikipedia pages that describe the individual managers and have links to the managers websites.
One thing on that listing is the column headed Price. In there you will notice that some are free but listing a price as
well. The free offer generally has limitations like being limited to one device or limiting the number of passwords.
I use the Firefox Lockwise Password Manager which comes as part of the Firefox browser. They have developed the old password saver into a full secure password manager. It includes a password generator as
well.
Give Firefox a try, it works very
well in its modern iteration. If you are installing it fresh I think it still has the option of copying passwords from other browsers during installation. If you miss out on that, if you export the passwords from other browsers in a suitable format you can import them into the Lockwise Password Manager.
