Security: Bypassing 2FA protection for passwords

Reported by liamolea...@gmail.com, Oct 5

Issue description

VULNERABILITY DETAILS
Able to bypass 2FA for viewing passwords by logging into the target's Gmail account through Chrome itself. From there, the user can go to chrome://settings/passwords - and instead of being prompted with 2FA as they would be if logged in through gmail and not the chrome browser itself, are then prompted to login with the details of the computer.

VERSION
Chrome Version: [69.0.3497.100] + [Stable]
Operating System: [Win10, Version 1803 (OS Build 17134.285)]

REPRODUCTION CASE
My apologies - I'm unsure of how to show a replication of this bypass as it's not done through malicious code.


 
NOTE: This bypass would allow hackers who have access to someone's Gmail login details the ability to ignore 2FA protection provided by passwords.google.com when suspicious activity occurs, thereby enabling them access to all saved logins of the account.
Status: WontFix (was: Unconfirmed)
Sorry, physical attack is not in our threat model. As long as attacker can access victim's device, there's not much we can do.

Besides I think you are describing a Google login issue not a bug in Chrome.

Closing as working as intended. 
Sorry, I think there's a misunderstanding. This bypass does not need to have access to the victim's device. This can be performed on any computer (as far as I know), as long as they have access to the person's gmail details. That is why this bypass is a security issue.
