This is exactly the sort of "false sense of security" that Chrome devs are talking about. If someone gets access to your user account -- remotely or not -- then they can do pretty much *anything* with it, including setting up a keylogger or dumping the memory of your running Chrome process.

Wouldn't installing a keylogger require root access?
The point about memory dump is true. But I don't see *any* way to avoid that risk, even if I typed all the passwords manually.

Not if you only care about the keys typed by this user.
