Doesn't hosting your password database in the cloud make it vulnerable to cracking? If it transmits across a network, then an ISP (at the very least; this assumes no malicious actors) will have seen it, and you can no longer be certain no one else has access to it.
Yes it does but it's a chance that I'm willing to take as I find it extremely u likely to happen. And if it happens all my important logins requires 2FA/TOTP anyway. I put my trust in encryption. You can use syncting to keep it all local if you want to avoid transmission over the web.

I don't know about other password managers, but Bitwarden handles your password pretty well. Of course, if someone has access to your local machine, then it'd fail, but at that point everything is compromised.
