right, they need to know whether to offer you a password or not regardless of whether you have re-locked

That doesn't require it to be stored in the clear on the server. Extensions/apps could keep a domain list (don't see why they need full URLs) in memory after lock.

Are domains truly the only scope that matters? What if a platform site allowed hosting user web apps (which could themselves offer authentication) all on the same domain, each in their own directory/path. As long as the app was careful to set the path attribute of the session cookie appropriately, the app could be pretty well-contained. Then a password manager just decides that a password field anywhere on the whole domain is a good place to autofill your password for one of the apps on that domain? That's pretty scary!

This feels like it might've been a good opportunity for hashing.
