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. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
