WOW. Open Chrome, go to chrome://settings/passwords, select an account, click "Show Password". BOOM! Anyone who can access your computer can see your saved passwords.

So don't let anyone access your computer. Once you've lost physical security, you've lost everything anyway. - Morton Fox
Do they not have a master password you can add? - Jimminy, CoG of FF
Can't you do that in any browser? I seem to remember it being really easy to access the list of stored passwords in Firefox, as well. This is part of the reason I never bother letting my browser store my passwords. - Fried Curdys
On Firefox you can set a master password. - AJ Batac (/-_-)
yes, you can. and few ppl set a master password. - Joe Silence
Does that make sense to you Morton? It's very simple to steal a computer. Should that open up everything or would it be more sensible to have a deeper depth of security? - Todd Hoff
Thanks for posting this. Not terribly secure, IMO. Good to double check what you've saved. (I'm ok with little forums and things being saved, but not - guruvan (Rob Nelson)
big accounts like FB or Google. - guruvan (Rob Nelson)
One word: 1Password. - Micah from FFHound(roid)!
Micah, for me it isn't an issue of remembering the password but not wanting to type it so often. - Skyler Call
I think it's a serious issue Google needs to take on Chrome. I found usernames/passwords as old as 2 years old maybe because I've used Google sync. - AJ Batac (/-_-)
I don't see any saved passwords in my 2.x year-old Chrome :D - Lysender
You didn't use save password features. - AJ Batac (/-_-)
You shouldn't use the save password feature built into browsers anyway. Even if it's encrypted then the encryption must be reversible, and the key must be stored on your computer. It's never been safe. They should just remove the feature imo. - xero
