Comment #32 on issue 53 by jspeavey: No Master Password Option
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=53

Until this issue is addressed, I will not be using chrome nor will I allow  
it to be
used in my company.  For those arguing that this is just 'security through  
obscurity'
you are fundamentally wrong and are truly missing the point.  Someone  
having access
to my Windows account, for whatever reason, should not mean that they  
should get
simple and unauthenticated access to *every password on every system that I  
save in
chrome* and also get the ability to see/copy them for their own use.  This  
is just
too easy a target for too large a risk with too easy a solution:  1) allow  
the
setting of a master password that is used to encrypt the password store.   
2) Allow
the user the ability to set the time period before re-requiring  
authentication to the
password store. and 3) Absolutely always require re-authentication to the  
password
store when the user requests to see the passwords.
