Hi 

There is an option to restore any password stored in "password manager" without knowledge about master password. In normal way user need to provide system password when click on "show password" button. 

Steps to restore password:
1. open url which has stored password in password manager
2. provide login and let chrome to prefill password field
3. open context menu on password field
4. change type from password to text
In this case password field should be clean up

As far as I know it works in any chrome version.
