Google Chrome : The perfect password offering ( Tested on pair.com Webmail, 
might work on 
others as well with Google Chrome 0.2.149.27)
 
Chrome stores saves passwords in CLEAR TEXT.
 
1 ] Goto webmail.pair.com
    Pair Webmail provides https and doesn't have any option on its page to save 
password.
 
2 ] Enter your username. Enter a false (incorrect) password
 
3 ] Allow Chrome to save password ( It will prompt below the address bar)
 
4 ] Now try again and this time Login user your real credentials
 
5 ] Open a few emails, if possible in a new tab
 
6 ] Sign out and close Chrome
 
7 ] Locate
X:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Local Settings\Application 
Data\Google\Chrome\User
Data\Default\Current Session ( Path might be different in Vista )
and change directory using the command prompt to the above path
 
8 ] Note that the "Current Session" file needs to be present in your 
"\Application
Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\" directory
 
9 ] Fire this command in cmd : find "&secret" "Current Session" (You can use 
grep as well)
 
10 ] If you have reached till this stage you can see that its stored in clear
