The opposite is true: store all your passwords in your web browser. And use random 20 character passwords for each website differently.

But don't forget to encrypt your hard disk, or at least your $HOME or your profile (Windoze).

It still works.

If you try and load Chrome passwords, it asks for your password, this seems to be nothing but making it feel like its encrypted.
