I use firefox and I've seen some of these popping up. Firefox has a similar option to disable this but it already was disabled. I was fighting with it for a bit. I don't think it happens anymore but I don't recall what the issue was or how I got rid of it. Either way, it's pretty freakin' annoying and stupid. I already have a master password on my Firefox saved passwords so don't want a second login on top of that.

October 17, 2024 - Your comment, "I don't recall what the issue was or how I got rid of it". Reflects something I have found my self saying any number of times. I'll have a computer "issue", and I will jump through all kinds of hoops to solve the problem, but often... I don't remember what I did to solve the problem. Which sucks because I may have the same issue in the future and will possibly have to go through the whole process again. Stay well 😊

October 17, 2024 - This is not a problem for me, because I don't want anyone other than myself remembering my passwords. That would apply especially to any of the companies that promote "convenience", which requires including them in my security sphere. I would rather write down my many passwords and hide them in trees and/or cats' butts before I would trust Google/Chrome, or Microsoft/edge/Windows to store any of my passwords. These are the same wonderful folks that while "Hovering up" all of your important data and info. Get hacked, and then straight faced, say, "Sorry about that, and we encourage you to monitor the various Credit recording agencies to see if your information is being used, or attempted to have been used, by criminals. "Convenience" and the other Devil's daughter, "Syncing" are the easiest ways to get your personal info compromised.
