autist if someone has physically access to a machine its theirs
only a wintard would use chrome

if someone has access to your web browser just consider your shit ruined anyway

Many reasons not to use Chrome but this is not one of them.
>enter your root/admin access username/pw in the box that specifically asks for it
>receive your stored passwords?

What next, gigantic loophole in ATMs where if you swipe your card and enter your pin you can withdraw all your money? Fucking retards writing misleading headlines to grab the attention of idiot boomers

What? It's never been secure, you can always view passwords and the WORST case you can press F12 and change the password field to "text" and see the fucking password being input.

That's the point of my post, that the guy is fabricating a news piece with something that's a literal feature

This is supposed to be a joke, right?

this a 'loophole'? firefox has a link to the passwords in the main menu. can you not set a masterpassword or use a guest profile when needed in chrome?
people should use a passwordmanager anyway

I found a lifehack that allows you to make a journalist fall asleep by repeatedly shooting him in the head

Just fucking remember password in your head

BTW politicians and cops use the word "loophole" to manipulate people as well, they use it to refer to perfectly legal things they don't like

I remember when news broke about duckduckgo being bad because it was not hiding your search to Google
It's like journos thought you could search there and Google would magically returns results without knowing your query
They went as far as calling out duckduckgo for being dubious about what the website was doing
Why don't they hire some real tech people to avoid shit like this to get published?

Imagine actually saving your password to a masterlist with google chrome, then downloading your favorite 2d waifu image, getting a trojan, then your chrome hijacked because chrome saves everything including browsing history under a txt file on the physical computer, all because you couldn't memorize your passwords.
Lmaoing at your brainlets.

imagine using passphrases so simple you can actually remember them for a hundred different websites.

clickbait is the future of journalism since print is dead.

>people should use a passwordmanager anyway
that's exactly what those browser tools are

*proper password manager with encryption, keyfile, masterpassword, etc

>FBI busts down your door

The memorychad has nothing incriminating on his PC

Meanwhile, the virgin password manager user (you): below scenario is true (about you)
FBI: thr gigs up faggot we know you post on h0ts3xyj4ilbai7.ru now give us your password
You (faggot): uhh i dont remember my passwords suur i use a password manager provided by an american company in america
FBI, man being the memorychad he is does not have time for a warrant so he enters your BLACK BVLL's phone ,# as the master password
*Unlocks*
>Sees all your sus website login details
>Get put in prison and executed for life

Das rite faggot work on yout memory retard

>it's ok when google does it

This has been a thing for a long time (more than a year), how come media is only picking it up now?

what do you except from journalism in literally any field?

This is a loophole? I've been doing this for at least 10 years I thought they just didn't care.

If you're not gonna use keepass or one of its variations, then you should be using something like Bitwarden, and engage the lock timer.

Anyone who uses any browsers password storage feature is a fool and deserves what they get.

which part of 'keyfile' and 'encryption' did you not understand idiot

>using a web browser to store passwords

I don't save a single passowrd

try harder google drone

Firefox has the right idea with letting you set a master password. Chrome devs refuse to add this because they don't grasp the concept of defense in depth.

that's exactly what chrome offers.

on macos chrome will ask for your mac password before showing your saved passwords.
this must be a wintard only thing

>saving passwords on chrome
Asking for it.

But Google has been doing this for a long time, nothing special.

They implement two passwords
One, your Google account. If you are logged and you give access to someone else you are the one to blame
And second, they ask for the specific machine authentication when you try to unhide a password in the list, in my case my 4 pin code, or my machine credentials
Journos hardly use machine passwords and even share machines with the same user, so they get shocked and find this a """""loophole"""""

it is the same in windows
it's just that journos can't seem to grasp the concept of owning and not sharing your machine password

>need computer login
>can encrypt it as well for new chrome syncs

Akshually, Windows asks for your PIN or password that you use to sign into Windows before Chrome reveals any password.

Sadly firefox master password was weak back in the day, now it's pretty much useless.

Why do people still use Chrome?

"SJWfox" is faster, you can disable a lot of shit on it that you would want to disable, you have a shitton of options. It has better add-ons, the store doesn't remove add-ons every couple of seconds because they're not correct, it has better font rendering on windows...

Get help.

>what is theft/loss

Exactly, I don't even save my porn I just watch it once and then remember it perfectly and can recall it at any moment to watch it again.

I'm also currently working on split screen memory but that's harder to learn
