I am just wondering, how do browsers actually keep/save usernames and passwords? Is it in plaintext? or encrypted somewhere and then decrypted when a specific page is visitted?

Modern web browsers will employ encryption, though it isn't really helpfull withiout a master password.

See your web browsers specific documentation for details.
