On OSX Chrome relies on the system Keychain so it's protected against that case. I don't know if it can be made to use the Gnome Keyring (or its KDE counterpart). Out of curiosity does anything like those keychains (I mean a theoretically secure storage area for authentication tokens available to developers and manageable by users) exists on Windows systems?

Windows has had a secure storage system for a long time (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms995355) but, unsurprisingly, many developers chose not to use it and there were limited tools for interacting with it in the base install.
