A entry-based password manager? (feddit.de)

I dont agree with many things apple does at all, and I also think their password manager has flaws like revealing usernames without authentification.

It is pretty handy though, to have a file where the entries are stored unencrypted, and if the password manager detects an entry it prompts to decrypt exactly that field, maybe with a fingerprint.

KeepassDX needs to run in the background and be completely unlocked to even detect apps or password fields.

Do you know any existing app that can do this?

I don't think any password managers that don't have that feature currently are likely to implement this feature after the beating that LastPass took in the press about it:

LastPass breach is worse than you think because URLs were unencrypted

Maybe an app might be able to cache the metadata locally but I don't think it would be something people expect to be unprotected at this point.
