Several other browsers give users the option to protect that list with a master password, but Chrome does not - even if you sign out of the browser, data linked to your Google account remains visible on that computer. Nevertheless, recent attention has shown that making saved password access so simple is a concern for some. A small "show" button will then appear next to the hidden password - hit that and it'll be revealed.Ĭalling this a major security flaw, as some have, is obviously a tad sensationalistic. As highlighted by software developer Elliott Kember recently, getting access to the list of saved passwords requires only that you point the browser at "chrome://settings/passwords" (or simply find the password management option in advanced settings) and click on one of the saved entries. Of course, you'd like think those passwords are squirreled away where no one can dig them up, but in Chrome they're pretty easy to find.
Most browsers will ask if you want your passwords saved so when you're next jumping around the web, logging into sites is that bit easier.
