These addons are effectively desktop software running as your user, just like Chrome. If Chrome can extract your saved usernames/passwords, then another program can replicate that functionality. They could require a master password and encrypt, but then people would use it less. They could also push it to a cloud service and only pull down relevant passwords at usage time, but is that good for user control of data?
- dotancohen 4y agoIt seems like GP is talking about a website, not a Chrome addon.
- Macha 4y agoGP is replying to my comment about flight sim add-ons. Yes, I'm aware they mistook these add-ons as being web applications, that's why I described the difference.
- dotancohen 4y agoI see, thanks.
