especially when it's so easy to delete all your passwords when you use Google password manager with clear browser data feature...

wife had issue with bank and wanted to flush all browser caches, but didn't notice that for some reason passwords checkbox was preselected. it deletes all saved passwords saved in cloud without way to recover (unless you have some offline device that didn't yet synced)

I did this, didn't quite realize the implications when in a hurry trying to remove one password stored accidentally, or something.

Literally running around the house trying to shut off other PC's before Chrome could sync on them... unsuccessful. What a disaster!
