Al my passwords are in google. I just don't have the energy to migrate, frankly. Chrome does what I want, and the password manager is seamless enough that anything else is less-robust and more work.
If you can, I highly recommend using a password manager like bitwarden with multiple backups spread on local password manager or local drive. Think of it this way, what happens if firefox or chrome were to suffer catastrophic failure? At least with a password manager, you can reinstall another browser and carry on as usual. :)
Tbh if google suffers catastrophic failure my passwords probably gonna be pretty far in the list i need to worry about lol.
Time to start de-googling?
It wont help a ton of businises, banks, and government stuff relying on google in varying capacity to work lol.
