So I saw this yesterday, and I’m wondering how safe it can be.

By default, Google Browser Sync continuously synchronizes your bookmarks, history, persistent cookies, tabs, windows, and saved passwords across computers.

It does put a safe guard in there, but I’m wondering how safe it can be.

The PIN you create during setup is used to encrypt information that’s synced between your computers, which may include sensitive information such as your passwords for websites. We use your PIN to unlock that information. Without your PIN, no one will be able to read the information that’s being transmitted between your computers via Google Browser Sync.

Like everything else it’ll be as safe as your password. Google has a good reputation on security, from what I’ve seen and experienced. Does anyone have any thoughts on the safety of this?
