Be very careful when allowing Google Chrome to save your password. Never allow it when you are using a public computer. When using your home computer, be selective about which sites you save and which you do not. If someone uses your computer and gets access to your favourite cookie recipe site, it's not as potentially harmful as if someone has access to your online banking account.
