Security: Able to see my gmail password when Network tab is opened to see the requests

Reported by thotakur...@gmail.com, Feb 14 2017

Issue description

VULNERABILITY DETAILS
I think exposure of password in network requests will be quite easy to identify a user's password. I have been thinking of this for a long time like how not show user's password in a network request. I thought of how google does but unfortunately, I am able to see my password in the network request. I am attaching my screenshot for reference. Probably I think some feature should be added so that password will be masked when sending a request.

VERSION
Chrome Version: 56.0.2924.87
Operating System: Windows 7

REPRODUCTION CASE
Just try logging into Gmail with Network tab opened and see a request called password. In that, you can see your own password without any masking

Yes, this is working as intended. This is just one of a nearly infinite number of ways in which you can "hack" yourself.
