Lovemeli.... And what does these mean? You are not contributing any meaningful reply...

You are asking for a feature to be removed

Many users expect atleast some privacy and security from password theft from rogue programs on the system. For this reason chrome prevents exposure of passwords to any user that does not furnish the windows password.

This is related to the debate between Security vs Annoyance .

Although I cannot speak for the chrome team, I think more people prefer security over annoyance.

More security conscious people also ask for an independent master password with encryption for passwords.

I do not think most people will agree with your request.

Agreed in most cases you are 100% ! How ever there exist some scenarios in
which there is no windows password, or virtual pass words, etc.

Peace,

Could some one from Passwords team please confirm whether this is a valid or invalid issue and udpate the status accordingly.
Changing the status to Untriaged as of now.
Thank You.

Thanks for raising this issue.

The password reauthentication actually does not serve a security purpose (the passwords are accessible through different ways without reauthentication for a skilled attacker). The passwords is here for privacy protection (nosy people without deep skills in the vicinity of the computer).

Why it is a controversial feature, with the trade-off of the privacy gains against the inconvenience and confusion towards the security implications, it has been decided in the past, that Chrome implements it. There was a heated debate with both internal and public involvement, and it is not going to be revisited without new data.

Therefore I'm afraid I'll close this as "WontFix".
