Google Chrome has taken over from Firefox as the primary web browser for me and I believe so, that’s the case for many of you as well. As any normal user would do, even I have a habit of “Remembering Passwords” on some of the frequently used websites. Though I make it a point not to save passwords for highly private services like email, the “Remember Password” option is too catchy and useful to completely disable it. Well, if you are someone who saves passwords on Chrome, you are in for a shock.
The below infographic will tell you why it is time to panic
So, all you need to do to take a peek at your passwords is to click on settings icon, going to Options and then to Personal Stuff and then click on Manage save passwords. It is true that the web browser is as personal as anything else on a personal computer and you must be given an option to edit your saved passwords, but seriously, the manner in which it is handled is way too dumb, not even a Master Password option? Really?
Update: For those who are wondering about Firefox having similar options, the thing is you get to choose a Master Password unlike in Chrome.
