Prior to the introduction of the password <input> type, there were
password forms on the web, presumably based on type="text". I assume
companies did something to address security issues, such as using script
to obscure the password text, and using https to transmit it. I don't
know if one could hook into a password manager back then, but I wouldn't
be surprised if efforts were made to do so.
