I realized this several years ago and was pretty dumbfounded, and quite surprised I've never read about this until now. Can you explain how the Chrome passphrase works in more detail and why it isn't used in this situation. If I sync my google account to another computer I need to enter a passphrase to sync passwords. Why isn't this asked for when clicking 'Show'? It seems like a perfect additional place. Even if its still 'trivial' to recover passwords you're still going to 'fool' a significant amount of people that it is secure and with Chrome's userbase that is a significant amount of people saved from themselves. And if you're still stubborn and arrogant enough to still make an argument against this then why not just put a damn 'Print my passwords' button on the main toolbar?
