Why not google password manager

It's missing a lot of features. Until recently, it didn't even support on-device encryption.

Like what, what more do you need that google password manager doesn't have?

Its records can only include a single domain, username, and password, and only the password can be changed.

A website and an app, as far as Google password manager cares, are two completely separate passwords. It also interacts poorly with subdomains.

Can't use it without a URL, so I can't use it to remember SSH key phrases, generator doesn't do passphrases, locked into the google ecosystem, and no app separate from chrome.

Google’s main focus isn’t password management, for one

No, not really. If you were to take a peek at Bitwarden or 1Password (especially 1Password), you would realize what a joke Microsoft/Google/Apple’s password managers are.

To begin, you can’t use Google’s password manager outside of the Chrome browser because the service lacks its own app.

have you ever signed into an app on your phone? other password managers have shortcuts to make this faster. even FaceID to auto-input your password on sites/apps that don’t have FaceID

Despite a lot of dislikes that your comment got I also do believe that Google password manager or Apple Keychain (for those who are all in on Apple ecosystem) are better and safer solutions.

Like where is your data more safe: at Google and Apple or at some random small startup with five employees total?
