Anyone who borrows or uses your computer can have instant access to all your passwords by visiting the "setting" of Chrome and navigate through the section section "Password". Google Chrome does not require a password to verify or provide any other form of security, instead, it allows different users to access information.

See for yourself how easy it is to recover your passwords saved by typing "chrome: // settings / passwords" in Chrome search bar to bring up the words Management menu past.
