i thought everyone knew that every browser saving password was completely insecure and only good for throw away accounts (e.g. hackernews :)

I honestly assumed the warning dialog i saw all those years was to tell me that, not that i needed to set a make believe password. that's is the only bad part, the make believe part. the suggestion on the article of using a slighter less-easy to crack schema for the make believe part is equally bad.

Edit: apparently Chrome's head of security also used to think so, and even called people that thought what the article suggest a "novice" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6166886 seems that somebody lost a political battle at some point.
