Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/61.0.3163.100 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. pres f12 
2. if password is saved select password box
3. changed type="password" to type= "text" in html file
4. now you can see password as a string instead of dots

What is the expected behavior?
you can look up someones saved password in html source code using opera chrome or mozila

What went wrong?
my password is very well known now ;)

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 61.0.3163.100  Channel: n/a
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version:

I'm very new to Chromium, so I don't know for sure, but I doubt this will be fixed. There is only a certain amount of protection that a client can provide against a compromised machine, and consequently, preventing tricks like this only provides a false sense of security.

It'd be super easy to work around even if this were to get patched; for example, some JavaScript could be run in the console to get the value of the input field.

HTML's <input type="password"> doesn't guarantee any security like this.
By using developer tools (or extension) you can do whatever like this.
