    The real issue is that Google stores your passwords in plaintext. That’s why they survive a password reset, or apparently now can be shared with others. Proton and Bitwarden encrypt your passwords so that nobody but you can access them, or at least in the case of Bitwarden, you can share with other users using pre-shared keys.

      Plaintext passwords was a fuckup that they self-reported 5 years ago and affected some business users. Most browsers don’t really encrypt locally stored passwords.
