What do you mean a password manager that checks the domain? Isn’t the auto fill based on the domain? I can’t imagine how a password manager could fill a password without checking the domain, it wouldn’t know which password to fill after all. Do any actually exist?
There are some password managers where you need to either manually look up passwords and copy+paste or autotype them or select the correct password from a dropdown. Some of these will come with an optional browser extension which mitigates this but some don’t really tract domain metadata in a concrete way to do this linking.
Some examples would be Pass which doesn’t have any standard metadata for domain/URL info (although some informal schemes are used by various tools including browser-integration extensions) and KeePass which has the metadata but doesn’t come with a browser extension by default.
The reason I say browser password manager is two main reasons:
So yes, if you want to use a different password manager go right ahead, as long as it checks the domain before filling the password.

I see, so you mean manually getting the password out of the manager instead of domain based autofill.
I was a bit confused on this to. Are their ones that constantly spam all your passwords at every opportunity???
