Scott, Google's computer is able to compose an html document which
contains my passwords in plain text. Whatever dance they do to either
side of that point in their process, at that point they possess my
passwords in plain text. Why is this concept a mystery to anyone?

If I had authorized it, it would indeed be just like any other
password managing web site. I did not knowingly authorize it. They
snuck it on me.
