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.
Well, browser extensions in and of themselves scare the living hell out of me. It really surprises me that they aren't a major attack vector and in the news all of the time. But yes, I agree that even encrypted they are a *very* tempting target for hackers, and especially foreign governments. A breach would mean that everybody is instantly screwed since they don't have to break into individual computers, install malware, etc. Mike
