Remembering passwords for multiple websites is incredibly annoying but it still might not be a good idea to let Google’s
Chrome browser remember them for you. Software developer Elliott Kember
notes that it’s incredibly easy for anyone to see the passwords you’ve
stored on Chrome as long as they’re using a computer where you’ve logged
into the browser. Basically, all a person has to do is go to Chrome’s settings, find your list of stored passwords and click “show” on each one to display your password right on the screen.
Kember calls this approach “insane” and says that more people need to
be aware of how much data they’re potentially exposing when they sign
into Chrome.
“Today, go up to somebody non-technical,” he writes. “Ask to borrow
their computer. Visit chrome://settings/passwords and click ‘show’ on a
few of the rows. See what they have to say. I bet you it won’t be ‘That’s how password management works.’”
