aWallet is one of those password manager apps that have been around for a very long time. It stores passwords, banking info, credit card info, and custom data if you need it to. There is also a built-in search, custom icons, and an auto-lock feature. There is even a built-in password generator so you don't have to think of one. It covers all the basics, includes AES and Blowfish encryption, and seems to do everything right. You can download the app for free and pay for the pro version as an in-app purchase.
Dashlane is another app that has been around for a while. It features the basics, including support for passwords, credit cards, and other sensitive types of information. It also handles support for auto-filling passwords on websites and apps. You'll be able to make backups locally or over the cloud. The encryption is 256-bit AES which is definitely good enough. You can use most of the features for free, but you'll need to grab the subscription if you want all of them. It's one of the more solid password manager apps.
Enpass is a fairly powerful password manager. It covers the basics and there are even desktop versions available for Mac, PC, and Linux. It also boasts no subscription fees which is a nice tough.

Keepass2Android is one of the more basic password manager apps. It has the basics and you'll be able to backup passwords and such. However, it doesn't have a lot of the more complex features of many of its competitors. The app's main claim to fame is that it's completely free and open source. It's based on the code for Keepassdroid (which is another excellent free, open source password manager) and the two are compatible with one another. There is also a completely offline version as well if you need that.
Keeper is a password manager app with a lot of features. Its main feature is having both 256-bit AES and PBKDF2 encryption which definitely helps one feel safe. Along with that, it covers the basics and includes auto-fill passwords in various apps and websites. Along with passwords, it also includes a photo and video vault where you can store sensitive images or videos. It also includes fingerprint lock support which is always nice. You can also sync between devices and store your data in the cloud if you want to. It's a pretty decent option although you'll need a subscription to get all of the features.
LastPass is about as mainstream as it gets when it comes to password manager apps. It has a metric ton of features, including auto-filling passwords into apps, sites, and even forms. It also allows you to store photos and audio notes securely. There are several other more unique or uncommon features such as fingerprint scanner support, a password generator, a password auditor to let you know if your password is weak, and even the ability to grant emergency access to a friend or family member. You can use the core app for free but you'll need a subscription if you want to sync to your computer. You can also grab LastPass Authenticator in Google Play to add 2-factor authentication for added security.
mSecure is one of those password managers that has been around forever. However, it's seen several updates since its inception and its look and feel is still relatively modern. On top of that, it supports the basic stuff, 256-bit AES encryption, an auto-lock, a password generator, and the ability to backup your data to your SD card. It even has a self-destruct feature that you can enable if someone guesses your password wrong too many times. It's a solid all-around option, although the lack of a free version may give some people pause. We recommend looking up some reviews and trying it out within the refund time limit if you try this one out.

This one boasts absolutely zero connections to the Internet as well as a 256-bit encryption which should help you feel relatively safe. It also has Material Design which looks and acts wonderfully.

It does what it's supposed to do pretty well and includes bookmarks so you can find your most used passwords quickly. The app can also learn new passwords as you create them and login which is pretty nifty. It also has support for multi-step logins which fairly convenient. It works with Chrome and Firefox out of the box with an additional add-on for Dolphin Browser. It's completely free and it works really well.
