Chrome should show passwords without reauthentication on Win if there is no OS password |
|||||
Issue descriptionOS: Windows What steps will reproduce the problem? (1) Have a Windows machine without a OS password set. (2) Save a random password on https://rsolomakhin.github.io/autofill/ (3) Open chrome://settings/passwords, locate the password, click the password field and the Show button. What is the expected output? Chrome should reveal the password without attempting to reauthenticate the user. What do you see instead? Some users (see bug 347825 comment #0, last sentence) report that Chrome tries to reauthenticate them in this situation. This bug needs to gather some reproduction steps, more detailed than above. If you have this issue, please share the information about your set-up. Anything you might think relevant is worth sharing: Did you ever have a non-empty OS password? Are you the only user on that OS? What Windows and Chrome version is this? Is your user an administrator on the device? Does this happen always? etc.

Hi, thank you for your feedback. I am not sure if I understand the problem correctly: Under the Windows account, where you do not use the OS password, what exactly happens if you visit chrome://settings/passwords and try to view a website password? Does Chrome show the website password to you? Or does it show any other dialogues, alerts, etc.? The privacy protection of asking you your OS password before showing your website passwords can obviously only work for accounts which do have some OS password. For the rest, viewing website passwords should work without the privacy protection, i.e., your website password should be shown directly upon your request.

(Just for the record, when I tried to reproduce this issue, I used Windows 10 with a non-admin account without OS password and Chrome 51.0.2704.106. When I clicked the "Show" button on a website password in chrome://settings/passwords, the password was shown immediately. So I was not able to reproduce the issue.)
