I was shocked when I found that Firefox would show you your saved user names and passwords and what site they were for in one convenient screen capturable list*. I see this "feature" is present in Chrome as well, although they made it so you only see one password at a time. Still, if I leave my laptop unlocked for any reason, anyone can walk up to it and get passwords to anything they want. While I don't save financial passwords, someone could certainly ruin my reputation on some forums or hijack my accounts on various other sites.

I would very much like to either do away with the 'Show Password' button or require a master password to even access the saved password list at all. In fact, I would prefer the master password approach that would restrict access to the entire options area (to prevent someone messing with your proxy settings, ect).

*Edit: I didn't mention that Firefox does use the Master Password in the current version, which is great and why Chrome is not my default browser right now.

I agree, I use the "remember my password heavily and someone could easily write down my passwords while i go to the bathroom for example. I was thinking the browser could request the user's password be entered before the browser will display any passwords.
