Google passwords. I trust their engineering, it's free, passwords are accessible as long as I have a browser and it comes with Chrome.

Negatives: I can't do backups, easily migrate to another supplier and it won't work automatically with other browsers. And it's Google (feels privacy invasive)

This isn't a really great solution, in my opinion. Anyone with access to your google account, or anyone with physical access to any of your synced devices could lift your passwords easily.

Wouldn't anyone with access to my two factor authenticated Google/gmail account be able to reset most of my passwords anyway? The biggest risk is perhaps a rogue Chrome extensions scraping the password page when I visit it.

I think they ask your google password once again, when you try to access that functionality, even if you already logged in.

If you are logged into chrome, with all google passwords synced, you could use NirSoft Chrome Password Export Utility to get a CSV/TXT file of all data; i.e. URL Username Password. Then import it into your other favourite password manager; backup it any secure way you wish.
