The risk there is more you accidentally make a bad comment on YouTube and Google bans your account, I think. I have no idea if I'd still be able to access my passwords if that happens. At least, personally I feel Google deciding to disallow me from logging in is more likely than Google losing my passwords.


That is only a risk for syncing, you would still still have your passwords locally saved


Is there a local UI to view/export your passwords? The only one I'm aware of is https://passwords.google.com but it's been a long time since I've used a builtin browser password manager.

also- does Google (or other browser devs) release information on how they keep your passwords secure? Is it even E2EE?


> Is there a local UI to view/export your passwords?

chrome://settings/passwords


Yes, no need to use the web, all done from the browser.

To your second question, I don't know, but thats only a concern if you export your passwords


Are you sure? Chrome could very well lock you out.


Never heard that happen, if you are worried about that, do a daily, weekly, monthly export


I personally know at least one person who had his Google account locked with no explanation.


That's not linked to what's local in your Chrome browser


How would I do that securely?
