i don't get it. how is Chrome's handling different from Thunderbird's or Firefox's? they too have the exact same functionalities accessible to anyone sitting at the computer without extra security measures: Options > Security > Saved Passwords > Show Passwords

If you have a master password set, Firefox makes you type it in before it will show you the passwords. Chrome doesn't do that.
if... but the article mainly complained about not being obvious for "normal" people that their password can be read. i have my doubts that it would be more obvious for those people that they can (should) set a master password in firefox.
