While you’re there, also consider turning on encryption for all synced data instead of just passwords. This effectively forces others to use another browser on your system like Internet Explorer (which doesn’t let others easily view your saved passwords) or Firefox (which lets you encrypt and password-protect your saved passwords). If creating another Windows account is too inconvenient, consider using a Chrome extension like ChromePW, Browser Lock, or Secure Profile to password-protect Chrome.
It’s ridiculously easy for someone to get at your saved passwords in Chrome. Instead, either create a new Standard (non-administrative) account for others to use or turn on the Guest account. First, don’t allow people you don’t trust to use your Windows user account. Luckily, there are a few things you can do to help protect your privacy. But unlike Firefox and its Master password feature, Chrome-and by extension, third-party add-ons-won’t let you encrypt your passwords or saved credit card information. If you let Chrome save your website passwords, anyone who uses your PC can easily access them with a little poking around in the Settings panel. Protect your saved passwords and credit card details Restricting and limiting Web content can help block some types of malware attacks. When you do so, Chrome will notify you when a site is using them so that you can voluntarily opt in for legitimate sites. You can, for example, disable JavaScript (which is often exploited by malware) and plug-ins. Additionally, click the Content settings tab and consider restricting some content.
