Issue 1397: Master password is missing
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1397

Comment #18 by sean.aitken:
This is interesting. Security Now (Steve Gibson / Leo Laparte) talked about  
Chrome
quite a bit in a recent episode (www.grc.com). I was shocked to hear that  
the saved
passwords are stored in plain text. I was also stunned when I realized that  
I didn't
have a master password protecting my saved passwords. It would be nice to  
ask the
user "would you like to create a master password or key file to protect  
your private
information?".  There is the implicit trust of a multi-user OS, which  
seems "good
enough for me" to not have a master password, but so many people don't use  
the
multi-user capabilities of their OS.  At least encrypt the stored  
passwords. I would
like to see a master password eventually.
