I do not want to carry my physical Visa card or physical Mastercard around. I also do not want to carry around any of my Visa giftcards and Mastercard giftcards. I am trying to reduce the cards in my wallet.

I cannot use Google Pay, Apple Pay, Samsung Pay or any banking app since I have a degoogled LineageOS phone and I like it this way since every app I have on it is FOSS.

If I were to store my physical Visa card details and my physical Mastercard card details in a password manager (Card Number, Expiry, CVC), would I be able to still manually enter these details at any physical place that take Visa or Mastercard? I will not be able to use the tap feature, but is it possible to always manually enter your card details at any place that accepts credit cards?

No. It may be possible at some places but 99% of the time you'll be told no, and the remaining 1% it's going to be a giant pain in the ass for the clerk or server or bartender.

You should just start using cash.
