> The current version of Chrome would allow someone to, within a few clicks, grab a pile of passwords With a USB stick and one click anyone can install malware that would give complete control of the computer to the user remotely. > Computer goes to IT guy where you work for repairs/updates. IT repair guys generally need admin access to the computer and will have all the time in the world to install any number of malware for remote access. > but what Chrome does today is, in my opinion, at the very least irresponsible For Chrome to add a master password would be irresponsible because it would give users the illusion of security they don't have. All OSes already have password protection against innocent peeking with user accounts and the ability to lock your computer when you walk away.
