Is Set password for your browser ( chrome lock ) safe?
Set password for your browser stores the browser lock password in plaintext in Chrome's local extension storage.
The extension lets users set a password to lock their browser session. When a password is saved, it is written as a raw string to chrome.storage.local under the key 'key' and read back on each startup without any hashing or encryption. Any local process or user with filesystem access to the Chrome profile directory can read the password directly from the extension's LevelDB storage.
