Issue descriptionHi, This is Niraj Gautam I found a way to bypass your security and view all saved passwords from Google Chrome. You have a really good feature that while viewing the saved password, a user must have to insert a windows login password but that is not effective at all. here is the way to bypass that password. steps: 1. go to the save password list from the menu. chrome://settings/passwords 2. click any saved URL 3. and it will redirect to that website. and it auto fills the username and password. and click on password>right click > inspect element > and change type="password" to type="text" and you can see , saved password in plain text. 4.this trick to bypass windows login works for all website. you are google. I know you can solve this issue. ##Remedy## You can hide all the saved password list from user interface so that attacker will not easily find which site has remembered a password. OR your developer might have a great idea to protect from this attack. because for now, login windows password is not effective at all Thank You Niraj Gautam |
