Is Lock Your History safe?

Medium risk

Lock Your History stores its history-lock password and hint in plaintext browser sync storage.

On install, Lock Your History prompts the user to set a password and hint, then saves both directly in chrome.storage.sync. When the history lock page opens, it reads that saved object and compares the entered password to the stored password as readable text rather than using a hash or encrypted verifier.
