Comment 14 for bug 189774

I'm in agreement with comments #6 and #12. This is a VERY serious security issue. The quick allow dialog protects the passwords stored in the wallet from network intruders or malware, but if someone happens to have access to your computer when you forget to lock the screen, they can easily see all of your passwords in plain text.

I'm personally not opposed to the ability to see these passwords once you've gained access, but for security it is critical that this access be protected by a password prompt even if the keyring has been unlocked. There is a big difference between allowing a program to access a stored password with the quick allow dialog, and giving a user access to the full list of passwords in plain text. Having a quick allow dialog in this context is a major oversight, and IMHO it should be considered a serious bug.
