I saved a password in Chrome on Android.

Went home, logged into the same website from my desktop. Chrome offered to log me in.

My unprofessional conclusion - Google could not have encrypted my password in a way that would have prevented them from logging in as me on another device.

As an aside, I was logged into GMail on the desktop, but I couldn't recall having logged into Chrome. If correct, than once you have logged into a Google property, all is fair game on any other sites you visit.
