I have read that Chrome developers will never add a master password to chrome without any real reason: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/chrome/k6JmRoGJp5w/Th9hdBwqIU0J

Is there any solution to set master password to Google Chrome to protect my stored passwords?

Also I'm using KeePass 1, so extension for KeePass 2 is not suitable.

Unfortunately, there is no reliable way at the moment.

There are reports that Chrome team is working on less-privileged accounts, which also means that there would be some kind of security for master (primary) account, like authenticating users before accessing critical data.

Well, you should try some extensions like this and this, but these are not the true solution.

The problem is any malware can get your passwords. That's why we need master passwords. – DmitryR Dec 21 '12 at 11:18
I don't think so. I believe that passwords are not saved as plain text. – arpitnext Dec 21 '12 at 12:51
That's true. Any malware can get them because it can access to full Chrome data. PoC: securityxploded.com/chromepassworddecryptor.php – DmitryR Dec 21 '12 at 16:27
