If I save a password in Google chrome someone else can easily see the password from

Setting -> Advance Settings -> Manage saved passwords -> Show (in required password field)

and use it from another computer. Isn't it causing a security issue? I guess it is much secure if it display only the entry and all dots or something for the password (not the actual password).

Is there any acceptable idea of showing the password to anyone this easily?

Note: Firefox is also showing the actual passwords, I Didn't check in IE.
