That is only a risk for syncing, you would still still have your passwords locally saved

Is there a local UI to view/export your passwords? The only one I'm aware of is https://passwords.google.com but it's been a long time since I've used a builtin browser password manager.

also- does Google (or other browser devs) release information on how they keep your passwords secure? Is it even E2EE?

chrome://settings/passwords

Yes, no need to use the web, all done from the browser.

To your second question, I don't know, but thats only a concern if you export your passwords

Are you sure? Chrome could very well lock you out.

Never heard that happen, if you are worried about that, do a daily, weekly, monthly export

I personally know at least one person who had his Google account locked with no explanation.

That's not linked to what's local in your Chrome browser

How would I do that securely?
