The biggest problem with password managers is that you become completely dependent on them (and therefore completely helpless without them) once you start using them. This scenario still allows you to remain decoupled from that dependency. You could print out a copy of your metadata to take with you on your trip to Europe without worrying that you'll be completely hosed if someone steals your phone/password manager.

I can take a copy of my pwd vault with me. I'm using pass, so the vault is a directory of files encrypted with a private key, which itself is encrypted with a strong passphrase. Even if I do end up losing that copy; What are the chances that someone breaks todays encryption standards, and does so before I notice the loss and simply change all my passwords?
