Comment on Chrome's insane password security strategyparent

Comments

Something for consideration, Chrome...it's not JUST security against badguys, it's also security against family members (aka, 13 year old son or daughter) who want to know what your password is so that they can do things online that you don't want them to do. You just can't make it EASY for people to SEE passwords. Sure, hacker badguys and even 13 year olds may get access to this information, but why make it easier for them to access? Or make it impossible for users NOT to import their passwords?

I'm glad I have never clicked "save my password" on any browser.
