This is WAI. passwords.google.com exposes the passwords stored in Google's password manager, which is synced with your passwords stored in Chrome (via Chrome Sync). If you delete your passwords in Chrome, they get deleted from the server as well.

Sabine, re-assigning to you to consider the feature request to display a notice when clearing passwords as part of the CBD dialogue flow.

+msramek, maxwalker who work on the CBS dialog.

This is indeed WAI - p.g.c. and Chrome browser are just two different clients of the same synced passwords storage, and both clients offer the option to clear it.

Currently, we have a warning about synced deletion in the footer ("Synced data will be deleted from all devices"), although admittedly p.g.c. is not really a 'device'.

There is issue 565216 filed to show for each datatype whether it is synced or not. We could address the suggestions in there. Though my preference would be to show some kind of icon next to each checkbox to indicate whether it is synced.

In the long term, we plan to redesign the dialog so that 'passwords' will probably end up somewhat hidden to prevent people from shooting themselves in the foot, but that will take time.

#5 gives a sufficient explanation, bug 565216 is a nice action item to help users in this area, there is no more actions to take on this bug.
