I don't think Chrome's password store is accessible to extensions. I recommend encrypting the passwords and storing the encrypted values in localStorage. Key management is a bit tricky. You could either ask the user to enter a passphrase and generate the key from that, or you could store the key on your server and use another mechanism to authenticate the user.
I've heard that <http://crypto.stanford.edu/sjcl/> is a high-quality symmetric crypto library for JavaScript.
