Google uploading your plain text passwords

Howdy,

My gmail account prompted me today to change a compromised password.
It wasn't compromised; it was an offline system where I intentionally
used a generic password. But in the process...

It turns out that every password I allowed Chrome on Android to
remember, it uploaded to Google. In plain text!! And it could prove it
by displaying the plain text passwords for me on my laptop. And I
can't turn the upload off!

To the google folks on here: Are you INSANE!?

Regards,
Bill Herrin
