Google Chrome and your passwords in clear-text

It was fun using the "remember passwords" feature until i figured out that Chrome will show your remembered passwords in clear-text...

...it's probably the worse feature I've seen implemented so far, this year...but it's just february...and you didn't see what I have to say about CIRA-the Canandian internet registrar- yet, eh?

[later edit]...this is especially evil since now evildoers could change the passwords to all your accounts and lock you out - otherwise, even if they find your laptop logged into all those accounts, they couldn't change your password before you did...
