Why? Chrome has had a built-in password manager for years, synced to your account, and accessible on the web: https://passwords.google.com

And it doesn’t work! It breaks on several websites I use routinely (e.g. my credit union). As far as I can tell, browser password management is a dirty hack. There is no real “login API” that could be used to build a proper password manager.

It works fine for millions of people and websites. What exactly is the issue you're running into? All the other password managers use browser extensions to do the same thing Chrome does natively.

There is the Web Authentication API: https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/
