The context was to stop entering passwords into web sites. The password manager is run locally.

  Passwords for websites are (hopefully) hashed locally. And more importantly, how does it make a difference whether you or the password manager types in the password into the web form?

    > And how does it make a difference whether you or the password manager types in the password into the web form? Well, because a hidden camera can observe a human typing their password, whereas a password manager does not need to press any physical keys. However, a camera can observe a human typing a master password into their password manager, which is where I was originally going with the question.
