Simply typing “chrome://settings/passwords” into the browser’s address box reveals a comprehensive list of the user’s login details, with any computer user able to click a ‘show’ button to reveal the hidden passwords.

This does not mean that the passwords are stored on the hard drive in plain text, but that they can be made visible in plain text to anyone with access to the user’s computer.

Any individual who can enter a user’s computer log-in (which could be as easy as finding the computer when left unattended) would then be able to copy somebody’s login details for all of their online accounts. - Independent.co.uk 

I’ve always been unnerved that Chrome doesn’t store its Passwords in Apple’s Keychain or at least behind a Google account. I’m surprised this hasn’t been called out before.
