Found out my 'secure' passwords were being saved in plain text by my own browser
I was messing around in Chrome's settings last night and clicked on the saved passwords section, and there they were just sitting there readable. Anybody else check their browser's password manager and get spooked by how exposed everything actually is?

Wait, did you check if that was just Chrome showing them to you while you're logged in, or could someone else sitting at your computer actually see them too? I mean, I thought the whole point of the master password thing was to lock that down but maybe it's just a false sense of security. When I looked at mine I noticed it even had my old work email passwords from like 2018 sitting there in plain text, idk how that's even okay.
