If you trust Google manage your passwords, it's OK. It works.

If I let Google save my password to the password manager am I leaving

them.

You'd be absolutely crazy in 2026 to be running without a password
manager, Chuck.
1Password
Keeper
Bitwarden
In that order.

It depends on your settings.
Of course, you need to unlock the app, but it has options for
auto-fill, or you can click on the login & it will present you
with options (in case you have multiple logins for a site), and so on.

So when a login dialog box pops up, what happens?

We have been using BitWarden for the last few years. It's
not the simplest manager around, but it allows me and
Georgia to share passwords for joint accounts, and it is
open source (the only one I know of that is). It also
supports passkeys for websites that support it. It works
across all platforms (Windows/mac/Linux,Android/iOS), and
it's got plugins for Chrome, Brave, Edge, Safari, and Firefox.
$40/year for a 6-user license.

Got totally scammed. Login.gov supposedly sent me a
very official looking email saying someone had logged
in a few hours ago. Nobody logged in a few hours
ago. I scanned the header and it looked legit.
It recommended that I change my password. Clicked the
change password button (without looking at the URL it
was directing me to) and went to a very official
looking page.
But it only asked for the new password once. That
should have stopped me but I still clicked. Then
immediately tried to login with the new password and I
realized I was cooked. So I immediately changed
passwords on sites that used that old password and
properly changed the password on login.gov
<http://login.gov>
I am seriously considering going to a password
managers. I know nothing about them, how they work or
if they are trustworthy. I use 2FA everywhere I can.
Opinions?
