> Is killing off password theft worth the tradeoff of restricting the legitimate user’s rights, or is this a step too far towards authoritarian overreach, no matter how significant the harm done to humanity by password theft?

If your government can order your password manager to lock you out of your passwords with no more trouble than locking you out of your bank account, then that lowers the cost of tyranny down to what the Chinese Communist Party enjoys.
