Comment #3 on issue 22241 by [email protected]: Passwords saved plaintext and world-readable http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=22241
The directory containing the passwords should be og-x, so the passwords shouldn't be world-readable. Can you verify that? Picking a random coworker's home directory: % cat ~estade/.config/google-chrome/Default/Web\ Data cat: /home/estade/.config/google-chrome/Default/Web Data: Permission denied As for encryption, there's little we can do other than obfuscation. We have some patches to integrate into system password stores but I don't know what the status of those are. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
