I don't feel too strongly for this, something about paying monthly to a 3rd-party just to store your passwords seems like a ticking timebomb. I especially wouldn't rely on Dropbox to handle my credentials for $. You could essentially just stick with using a free Dropbox account, use your favorite Password Manager, ex. KeepPass, and save your password protected encrypted database backup to your Dropbox account, & load the file from another device, etc, Right? I'm just too used to using password managers on VM's that i've never found use-case in syncing them between other machines cause that already sounds rediculously dangerous enough, next to storing them on your Untrusted web-browser. It sounds extra, but i'm that paranoid after personally experiencing getting 'hacked'.

I am quite happy to pay 1Password for the same. The benefits of biometric access on my phone and auto filling forms is too hard to pass up.

Any tips on how I can decouple myself from the Google password manager? The convenience of having passwords synced across every signed-in Chrome instance on every device (and even in-app on Android) is still something I haven't found a suitable replacement for yet.

  Google password manager doesn't support sharing passwords. As soon as you need that, Google's solution isn't going to be enough for you.
