When you click Yes, the login credentials will save to the Autofill of your Google account. When you visit the website the next time, you can skip entering your credentials using the Autofill option. But it is not safe because anyone can access the account saved in your Autofill. You can disable or clear the Autofill when allowing others to access your PC on Chrome.
