Security: Chrome save password retrieval.

Reported by nitesh.k...@gmail.com, Apr 3 2016 
I just came here to share my thoughts. On any site if we save our password in chrome browser, it can easily be checked by any user by right click->inspect element-> go to attribute and change the type from password to text. And password can be seen. It would have been better if no one can see my password by doing so. I will feel more secure to leave my laptop with saved password though I know anyone can access into account using that but at least he cannot get my password which can be misused more.

Thanks for your report. You should ensure that you workstation is locked and you use a strong OS password to protect it. Otherwise, an attacker can do pretty much anything with your system not limited to viewing your passwords.

Please see the FAQ entry for this:
