I believe it's encrypted between Google and your Chrome browser, it says so but I haven't confirmed this myself.Chrome can be configured to not remember passwords at all (makes a browser pretty useless), but it won't keep them only on the local device. If allowed to remember passwords, it uploads them to Google. No knob to turn sync off. -Bill
