Security: Security Breach of Saved Passwords in Chrome

Issue description
VULNERABILITY DETAILS
Well, Although Chrome store the saved passwords with lots of protection and to see the saved password, one has to give the OS login password which is important to make it secure.
But today, I found a way by which I can see the Gmail password without the need of OS login password.
VERSION
Chrome Version: Version 69.0.3497.92 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Operating System:
Windows 10 Home
Version : 1803
OS build : 17134.285
REPRODUCTION CASE
I have attached a 30 second video. Also, here are the steps I followed:
1. Open Google.com
2. Select account whose password is already saved in chrome.
3. It will ask the sign in password prompt and it will be auto-filled because its saved in chrome.
4. Now, click on show password. We can see the password.
THREAT AND EXPLOITATION:
Since there is no security, anyone who can access the PC can see the saved password. It also discourages people from saving the password. So, "Show password" should be disabled in case of "auto-filled".
