It's exactly what lots of password managers with browser extensions
do. I don't personally use them because I don't want my passwords
reversibly stored on a computer that I don't directly control. I have
no great philosophical problem with their existence and use by those
who want them, I just don't want them for myself.

My problem was suddenly finding Google in possession of passwords I
never intentionally allowed it to have. This sneak around behind my
back stuff means I wasn't in control of my passwords.
