Some encrypted data is worthless. Some isn't. Depends on what value it has when down the road the encryption is broken.

If AES being broken is in your personal threat model, you have far more to worry about than passwords.

What if its broken in 10 years? Or in 50 years? Eventually it will be.

I’d wager you could survey 100 cryptographers and at least 90 would say the AES-256 primitive itself will never be practically broken, even by large-scale quantum computers. Related-key attacks aren’t realistic or practical.

Properly encrypted data is worthless unless you intend to get the keys somehow. Breaking industry standard encryption schemes shouldn't be in your threat model.
