*** This bug is a security vulnerability *** Public security bug reported:
Binary package hint: chromium-browser See: http://penguindroppings.wordpress.com/2010/05/18/chromium-saved-passwords/ http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1397 Apparently there are hooks to do the encryption, but they haven't been implemented on Linux. I consider this a security issue, as users have come to expect passwords will be encrypted through other browsers such as Firefox. If a computer is stolen, the thief can get unlimited access to all passwords just by booting up onto a live CD. I have confirmed this with chromium-browser 5.0.342.9~r43360-0ubuntu2 in lucid.
