This is not how password managers work though. Any proper password manager encrypts the password database with a master key, which is never sent anywhere. Personally, I use a Yubikey to store a very long and complex master password for my password manager.

If a password is "managed," than anybody who can gain access to the box
on which it is "managed" gains access to whatever the password protects.
(Which is why I'm leery of SSH sessions to cloud Linux servers being
secured with a keypair instead of a password. I'd prefer a keypair *and*
a password.)
