 How would a password manager help?

 Some allow you to add people without exposing passwords. But even without this you can just generate a new random password so you don’t expose ones you use elsewhere

 I'm just wondering how someone could login to an account without being exposed to a password. The password has to go into a web page field to submit a login request.

 Yes, but that doesn't prevent the person you share it with from accessing the shared password. I may have misunderstood your point.

 But yes, a unique random password would limit any potential damage they could do either way.

 This would be quite a useful feature
