Comment on Chrome's insane password security strategyparent

Comments

If you're not going to protect people by implementing a simple master password mechinism (Google Account, on by default if you are logged in), you should at least warn people that saving their passwords is risky.

The Chrome user interface doesn't let average users know their passwords are stored in such an easily accessible way. "Do you want to save your password?"... If they knew, it would 100% of the time be "Hell no!"... but Chrome asks by default, which puts millions of average users at risk... what a shame.
