Nick, thanks for the reply! What I'm running into is the need to store passwords in cleartext for APIs that use basic authentication (over HTTPS, of course). It would be neat if I could store these somewhere in Chrome's facility. It sounds like this isn't (yet?) possible.
I can make do for now on my machine, but I would hesitate to release something that's storing passwords cleartext in localStorage.
