Gmail users are being advised to change passwords  due to the ramping up of phising campaigns and  credential theft methods. A number of users do not regularly update passwords  and a standalone Password Manager is a more secure method than a Browser based one,  An authenticator App is  the preferrable method fot Two Factor Authentication.  passkeys such such as a Biometric  are more resistant to phising.

Just found out that Google have released a stand alone password manager that also checks the security of your passwords. Also if you've used chrome browser and have a lot of passwords in its password manager you can now ditch it and still have all your passwords stored.
