So you brought your nice laptop to a trip, and you have all your password stored on it. Or you didn't bring your laptop and is using other people's computer that could possibly look through the password you typed on it, what do you do?
The first scenario:
Someon is on your computer, and you want them to NOT get all your passwords, what can you do? First, let me show you how easy it is to get your password. On Firefox just go over to Preference-> Security-> Saved Passwords-> Show Passwords and you see ALL your passwords there.
The most easy way to stop someone from doing that on your computer while you're away is to just create a guest user and let them go on there... but sometimes you have to leave a room to a few teenage guys who just loves messing with other people's Facebook, what could you do?
In the same security settings pane, there's an option for using a master password. This means that to see your passwords, the person will need to enter the master to see it (an outcome of this is that everytime you need to access a saved password, you need to enter your master password, of course, you could take out the password once you get back home to find your Facebook just like you left it and not molested with).
I don't know any method for Google Chrome....
2nd scenario:
You don't want people to know what your password when you're using other people's computer. On Google Chrome, it has a nice setting called Incognito mode where it doesn't save anything about your browsing (also known as porn mode). To access it, just click either "Ctrl-Shift-N" or hit the Wrench -> New Incognito Window.
For Firefox... just remember not to click yes...
