I am curious what certifications if any are worth getting for breaking into IT/Web Dev for someone without a college degree.

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

A portfolio for sites with ones you've developed or worked on, and skill + critical thinking for IT.

depends on which "field" exactly your going into.

None.
I mean it, absolutely none. The entry level certifications (A+, Network+, CCENT, etc) do nothing more than certify that you're capable of breathing without being reminded. On the other hand, if you have a higher level cert and no job experience, I'm going to wonder (briefly) why you couldn't get a job and ended up expending your energy on a certification. If I come across a resume and a certification is the only relevant thing I see on there, I throw it away.

IT/Web Dev? Those are two different things. No doubt you can learn both, you likely wouldn't hired for both unless it was some small startup or you are thinking more along the lines of IT/Webmaster consulting.
