Every so often, for instance when I am setting up my password manager on a new device I find myself reading the password from one device and typing it on the next. This would make that process much easier/saner. The password is effectively much easier to read in and type back.

What kind of off-brand password manager doesn't let you transfer your password database to a new device? You should only ever need to remember/type in the master password.
KeepassX. And I'd actually rather handle password-file sharing myself as I'm not super comfortable with everyone having access to my password-file even though it's encrypted. Also the fact that my main platforms are Linux and Android removes quite a lot of options as far as password managers go.
Do you mean that you store the password to your password manager in another password manager?
No, I don't. But I share my password-file over dropbox and my dropbox password is managed by my password manager.

So, sort-of, I guess.
