Actually, it is still a problem, because passwords are a shared secret between you and the server, which means the server has that secret in some sort of form. With passkeys, the server never has the secret.

Best password manager is offline password manager.

KeepassXC makes a file with the passwords that is encrypted, sharing this file with a server is more secure than letting the server manage your passwords

I agree, and that's my method as well. Although I do not ever share the file with a server either. I only transfer it from device to device with flash drives or syncthing.
