But does it restrict your ability to also save those passwords into an external password manager? Per my previous, Safari has a similar feature, which streamlines the process of generating secure passwords without needing to switch to the password manager to generate the password, and upon submission, it gets stored in the keychain, and also pops up the ability to store into 1Password via the usual extension. Sure, all those passwords in the keychain are locked to Safari only, so Chrome, Firefox, etc are unable to access them, but that's what external password managers are for.

> But does it restrict your ability to also save those passwords into an external password manager? It absolutely nudges people away from password managers and on to Chrome. You now you have two options... (1) get a password manager on all of your devices that properly syncs with Chrome; or (2) only use chrome on your devices. Many people are going to choose option #2. This will lead to more people relying on Google Chrome and Google Accounts, and will now you'll need to be logged into Chrome to log into any other site. It's a way for Google to become requisite, and add more power when they already have so much.
