That is the easiest tricks to know someone's password.
Although if there is auto-save on then there is a list of passwords already happening in chrome. You can also see all the saved passwords by going to settings of chrome than in search type passwords, you will see a list of passwords where the users who used autosave you simply have to put the login passcode for the computer and you will have all the details. Using the internet cafe is not safe they can track your activity easily.
I do not understand why people use auto-save instead of google sync. Where you can use your account to add details and then log it out simple.
But I appreciate you have shared and many people will know who did not know about this before.

Chrome also offers password cloud storage, even suggesting strong passwords when on the registration page of every site that will be automatically saved in a gmail account (in a login state).
The storage requires password access to visibility the saved passwords. I haven't tried it whether the login data will also be filled automatically when logging in to a gmail account using another computer. However, Only by knowing our Gmail password, someone will be able to access all connected accounts without resetting the password which usually requires an additional recovery process. That's enough to make us lose everything quickly.

This is for newbies but it is helpful. windows will always request for password whenever you try assessing password page in browsers. this is an easy way of getting someone else password and i am sure this can work in other webpages apart from Facebook. one should be careful on how he he saves password and card details on his laptops and systems. apart from public systems. personal laptops can be a target. an attacker can view your passwords whenever he/she has access to your laptop.
Yes, this must not be done if you are using a public computer and I don't recommend using a public computer or network when accessing your crypto accounts it is very risky. I think it is okay to save password if you own the computer or laptop. I have done this in college it is a simple trick but it really works.
Whenever I am accessing any website on my own personal device, I prefer saving my password rather than having to retype every single time I try logging in, however if the device isn't mine, then I wouldn't even try such because of the implications.
Its good you alert people anyways because some will even click on the save button despite knowing that the device isn't theirs.

I already have experience with this like I accidentally click the save password and at that time
If this happens, the easy way to do this is to change your password, but it would be better if you never save passwords on the browser.
You're right but, let consider the possibility of the the public computer to have some hardware keyloggers which can easily capture your password entry during the action time. Saving password on a browser looks childish and in responsible of such person, some browsers can stole personal data for some dubious purposes. We must be careful of the type of browser we use to browse some important site on the Web.
I will not use any public computer to browse because if the possibility of keyloggers.
Kellogger monitors the entire keyboard and is an advance level attack.

I always make it a point to delete the computer cache and history I've used when ever I logged in an internet cafe, because some internet cafes are not using a deepfreeze software, so the computer always remember your history and your prints, but I'm glad I'm not going into the cafe since I have a laptop and netbook around
That is really a good thing to do because there are actually lots of hackers out there that can get your personal data and the worst thing can happen, to lose your money and stolen by them. That is why you should delete every log in information you do, or kindly use incognito when you are logging in. Also, avoid clicking some advertisements online because that might be a virus or a way that hackers to steal your data. Even if you are using your personal device, you should still delete or do not save passwords because what if you misplace your device and someone gets it, at least your fund is safe. Cookies save the passwords so that you don't need to ever login and just type the URL like gmail to login your email account.
Totally agree with you, you are absolutely right.

Well it will save your account information if you agree to save it but if you not then you'll need to retype it again if you are logging in which is recommended for our accounts safety, i think cookies has less work about the credentials and it is more about our browsing activities. I think it is just simple, if possible do not use public computers in accessing your wallets or exchange site you stored your money but if not then make sure to watch yourself from clicking too much so that your account will not be in danger. If you have your own device, laptop or phone you can save your account details for it is only you who will use that device.
Cookies save the passwords so that you don't need to ever login and just type the URL like gmail to login your email account. Phones can be hacked easily. It saves your credentials. Recently uninstalled my browser, deleted my cookies folder and had to login again to all the sites where I was previously logged in.
There are popup ads nowadays which directly get installed on your computer and are malware. I detected one recently and had to delete it. In public places there are CCTVs as well so they can take a note of your password as you type it. I have noticed people even peeping in your device while you are typing your phone password.
AFAIK you can choose to synchronize your passwords with your Google Account so you have access to it from other devices. So, yes.
It's only if you sync else it's saved only on your device. Best is not to sync.
If course you can steal that person credentials by extracting cookies from any browser and convert to json and import on any other computer

Mostly login details are saved if you have either saved the passwords or you have cookies saving these details. Deleting the cookies folder and not saving passwords would solve the problem and it's not possible that the details are available on all computers like the cafe where you haven't been logged in earlier. Saving login details on your own computer/phone also is dangerous as if your computer/phone gets hacked, the hacker can directly access your account. In the phone as well I keep deleting data everyday and prefer logging in everytime I access the app.

Chrome has its own and it stores them encrypted with different password that the one for user profile.
But this doesn't matter. It was already said (I'll bold it and make it big) and it covers the story correctly:

Lockwise os different because it is a password manager. It can generate new passwords, while chrome, as far as I know can't.

Doesn't Chrome send all your passwords to Google's central servers for storage? The same Google who have been caught several times storing passwords in plain text? Terrible idea to trust Google with your security.

Chrome store passwords as well but you can ignore if you don't want, really I don't bother myself about this because I use Authentication modes like
1. SMS to my mobile number
2. SMS to my email address
3. 2FA Authentication mode
With these three activated on websites or exchanges you will be on the safest side

Using the browser's password manager is dumb anyways. It's much better to use 1Password, Lastpass, Dashlane, etc...

Please read the other posts in the thread. Simply not saving your password by no means protects you if you choose to log in from a public computer. The public computer could have any amount of monitoring or surveillance software or hardware installed which can steal your passwords, and you also have to completely trust that the internet connection isn't also being monitored or otherwise compromised. 
Can you access this from a different computer?
I believed you could see the password since it is already typed in the textbox, I think it might be exposed if you could access it on another computer.
you cannot inspect anything if they don't have access to your computer it should be mine in my opinion. Unless you saved your password from a rental computer.
Of course, it's if he is using the same computer as the person who first logged in with the saved password. This is why I think it's not even a wise decision to go to a cafe to browse. It isn't even safe to do that on one's PC or phone because any of these items can get into a wrong hand without a preplan.I believed you could see the password since it is already typed in the textbox, I think it might be exposed if you could access it on another computer.

It's okay to save password as long as it is your own device and no one uses your personal computers or laptop if ever. But if you are on an internet cafe, It is better for the user to not save their password because like on the post, that way can see your password. So, if you're logging in on other device, better make sure that you don't save or click that "Remember your password".
I think this will educate those who are using computer in an internet cafe. It's kinda interesting when i saw the title. But at least it can help, thanks though.
