Of course it does, if it's encrypted, and only you can access it, then
it can't be displayed on a web page.
The closest you can get is by entering your credentials to decrypt in
memory, but it still means you're giving up your credentials to the
servers. The fact that they're saved or discarded is an implementation
detail that can change at a blink of an eye.
