I’d be worried about losing access to the entirety of your passwords if Google up and decides that one day your account is suspended. There’s been a few reports historically where someone gets their Gmail account suspended for some mistaken reason and all their associated access gets pulled (e.g. from drive, sheets, etc)

  You are saying that bitwarden suspended your account?

  Bitwarden offers an encrypted backup…
  
  Google has maybe a plain text export.
  
  Bitwarden has run flawless for me for multiple years.

  I got a Google account shut down after some spammer started using that email as the sender address. I somehow got in contact with an employee (friend of a friend) that checked on the account and verified it wasn’t my fault and reopened it, but a week later it got closed automatically again.
  
  So it can happen at no fault on your own, and impossible to do anything about.

  My Google account has been rock solid from the day I created it as a child
  
  Hopefully you were of legal age to accept the Terms of Service, otherwise it might’ve been an irregular account all this time.

    If it was, and you haven’t accepted the ToS as of legal age, then you might want to make a new one.
    
    Google is getting ready to purge inactive accounts starting next year, and it wouldn’t be the first time when a service purged irregular accounts many years after the fact, so… better safe than sorry.
