You have completely missed the point. This issue does not relate malicious attacks. It is about the intent required for a friend or co-worker to breach your trust.

Chrome lowers the barrier and makes access casual where other systems require a stronger level of intent. That's the problem. I have no idea why you are defending this behaviour.

So again: they should display an FBI warning, just like they do on DVD movies.
Securing the password page is not remotely similar to an FBI warning on a DVD.

One requires a bit of manual effort and thought to get over for the casual user, the other becomes ignored by the casual user.
