I would like to ask to think twice until agree Google's reply. And not only because they have so much power on the Internet.
Think about most simplest case: childs John and Jack do their homework on Jack's computer. Jack goes to the toilet and John continue the writing/drawing. Then John gets "brilliand" idea: "Hmmm, why not stole his passwords all around and sell/play them later..."
Is this something which you think never happen?
There is two simple solution to avoid this:
1) Jack is having two accounts: admin and JackTheUser
2) There are no passwords in clear text format unless someone add JackTheUser's credentials. And this must happen everytime you look the passwords.
#1 makes impossible to install any bad software
#2 avoid simple friends to see your passwords
Maybe Justin and Google just doesn't know how to verify user on the OS? Very same way than UAC behaved earlier on Windows.
Some professionals call it layer security: if your front door is open, your safety box is still locked. May I ask, is that something which we do not want?
