Security: password manager allows user to view passwords

Reported by surajaka...@gmail.com, Oct 20 2017

Issue description

When i sign in on any site then an option pops up to remember the password if i click on that the password is saved .The security problem is that after remembering the password anyone can go in setting-manage passwords and see the password there.i know it asks for pc password to show the password but what if my pc doesnt have a password or many people or friend my pc password then they can easily see my password.There should be a password for manage password section not the pc password.

Summary: Security: password manager allows user to view passwords (was: Security: password)
Yes, Chrome's password manager allows you to view passwords.

An untrusted person with full access to your computer can do all sorts of things to steal your data; you should lock your PC when you are not present.
