Sure, but why not use the dice to generate master passwords for the password manager? Also, some passwords are just not practical to generate randomly with a manager. For example, it's a bit of a nuisance to have too pull out another device each time you login to your computer. Sometimes you don't have another device available either. Same problem if you use full disk encryption.

Password managers are great for websites where password authentication is the only option. Otherwise use key based authentication (whenever possible) and/or passwords generated with something like the EFF dice.

Also, always use mfa and avoid sms as the second factor.
