This is a fine use case for using "cloud" to mean, "somewhere, not here".

I don't feel like my passwords should be stored "somewhere, not here". They should be stored "here" - where I choose to store them, and nowhere else.

I purchased a hardware password manager a while back, which seemed really neat:

But, sure enough, bulk import uploads all of your passwords to their servers, even though there's just no rational reason why a server "somewhere, not here" needs to play man-in-the-middle to all your logins. To avoid it, you have to go one by one (even then there's no assurance, but the official docs do not say it's sent up to their servers).
