IMO, this bug shouldn't be a dupe after 1261977. As I see it, about:logins should offer a basic layer of protection in the lack of a master password. I've seen the OS password being requested in some password managers (don't recall exactly on what OS/browser). The simplest use case I can think of is that somebody is allowed temporary access my computer - let's say family visiting. It's weird to be concerned that my brother or anyone for that matter could have plain text access in 3 clicks to any of my saved credentials, even though he only has temporary access.
