| Jul 28, 2016 at 10:21 | comment | added | Vivelin | I can't find it back anymore, but I remember seeing a Chrome dev state that they did not implement encryption using a master password because it would give the user a false sense of security. | |
| Jul 28, 2016 at 9:39 | comment | added | user15194 | @Qwertylicious can they? Sure the they can. Do they want to? Not likely, otherwise it would have been done already. Anyway, that's already out of the scope of stackexchange unless someone who works in Chrome development shows up :P | |
| Jul 28, 2016 at 8:57 | comment | added | Denis | Hmm.. can't chrome developers find a different solution to this? I like the way Firefox has implemented their encryption | |

| Jul 28, 2016 at 7:51 | comment | added | Denis | Thank you for this answer. This means, I can simply write a software and it can be handed over to a person with the request to install. And when that person does install it, I can get all the beautifully combinations of usernames and passwords very easilly. I think this is a risk and may be somone can exploit it. | |
