Given that:

- I understand the fact that the browser must be able to have the password in plaintext at the moment of logging to a website.

- I understand that if someone has access to my account on my computer then is able to access all the sensitive information that I have stored unencrypted on it, and not just my browser's passwords.

- I understand that is not something new or ground-breaking, or even something exclusively related to Chrome.

I still can't see how sensible having an option to show the passwords in plaintext, without protection, really is. Many people (non tech-savvy people in particular) for example do not lock their OS profile at all.

Requiring a Master Password by default (with the possibility of opting out in the settings) before using/showing passwords, and storing these in crypted form it would seem more sensible to me.
