I just did a very quick check of this, Chrome, FireFox and safari all have
this data stored in a reversible fashion on both Mac and Windows.
safari at least prompts you for the user login to show this data.
IE seems to not allow you to retrieve the password without 3rd party
utilities.
This certainly makes me review my personal choices of full dis centryption
and physical security of my computer.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
