    Google only just recently introduced encrypted passwords… Before they were stored in plain text on your computer… Tho I’m not even sure how that encryption even works.

    So… It may not have leaked yet (or maybe it has but Google suppresses everything, who knows) but I wouldn’t trust it to keep something safe.

        There nothing to fix in an OS. Windows and chrome have vulnerabilities which are unfixable by regular people. What about malware? What about other people knowing the password to your pc?

        It’s impossible to trust an OS to not get hacked, because it’s always the hackers or OS running behind the other.
