Which is precisely why I would never use an offline only password manager. In the case outlined above, I would need to connect to my online password manager, using the master password I have in my head; which then would allow me to connect to all my services.
How would that work with passkeys ? So far the only way I could see this working is if every single device on earth comes with a fingerprint/face scanner. Because my face and my fingers will always be there for me (hopefully). Otherwise we are back to secrets (aka: passwords).
