Chrome sync at work - daft question really.

I use Chrome at home and at work & I have sync activated. I'm leaving my job at the end of the week:

Is signing out of Chrome with my googlemail account all I need to do at work to protect all my links/passwords from being accessed at work once I leave?

    Thanks for the replies. I have it saved in my sync'd passwords, but not on the work PC.

    All good advice so far but if it were me I would be signing out, rebooting the lap top and checking that it doesnt remember your log in details well before my last day.  

    I dont sign in to Chrome using my Gmail account but it does remember some of my (non work) passwords so I must have clicked save at some point in the past.

    Just to be on the safe side I would remove your personal profile from your work computer

    Click profile icon -> Other profiles settings -> delete this person
