Okta isn’t a password manager. It’s an Identity Provider.
I use a password manager because I have multiple devices and a cross platform solution that I can access is a straightforward solution. A local password manager like Keepass is still vulnerable to attack by a compromised system. A well architected password manager is going to not store the decryption keys on their servers and only allow the password vault to be decrypted locally so if they get breached, they would still need to have your master password to gain access to the data. A malicious update could allow them to steal your information but so could a malicious Keepass or OS update.
Using a password manager with a strong password and multifactor authentication is mitigating so many security issues off the bat the new risks it introduces can be small.
Bitwarden has not had any of the problems you listed and can be self hosted.
