Hi all,

 

I use Chrome.  I have a number of passwords saved.  But I think I found a
security issue and was wondering if anyone wanted to see if they had the
same result (or already knows about it.)

 

Today, I was messing around with Chrome.  I clicked on log out and then use
another account.  I created a new one using a non gmail account.  When it
came up, I still had all the same bookmarks, etc.  So I went into settings
and chose reset (advanced, at the bottom) as well as changed the default
startup to be a new page.  I then closed Chrome and rebooted the computer.  

 

I start Chrome, and log in using the new email ID, I still see all the
previous bookmarks.  And if I go to settings, passwords, I can see all the
passwords for all the sites that belonged to my real Gmail account.  But I
am logged in using the new email ID account.

 

The funny thing is if I go to settings/passwords, I can see all the
passwords.  But if I click on the option to view and manager saved passwords
in your Google Account - on that web page, it says I have none... Very
strange.

 

And yes, the passwords are *'ed out, but if you click on the eye icon and
enter the windows login password, you can then see them as pure text.

 

Just curious to see if anyone else can replicate it.

 

Fletcher
