I agree that it is an unusual "feature;" though it does give me a reality check about security on the internet. The odds of someone using your computer with the intent of checking your saved passwords in Chrome is extremely minute compared the lengthy vulnerabilities we all subject ourselves and our computer to on a regular basis.

I see a lot of people pretending like this feature is the end of the world in terms of security, you guys to need to wake up if you think this is a make or break security flaw in your day to day computer activities.

If you are concerned about anyone doing unauthorized activities on your computer you should definitely have it password protected through the OS, even the BIOS might interest you as well. ( I just use Windows 7 users, but I am considering using the Win7 Bitlocker software for added security).
