Saved password on Android get silently updated by security question answer

Project Member Reported by chaorenl@chromium.org, Sep 21 2016

Issue description

Chrome Version       : I forgot

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Have a saved password
(2) Get a security question while signing on on Android where the answer uses a password field
(3) Answer the question

What is the expected result?
A prompt to update password, I can click no, and my saved password remains the same

What happens instead?
No prompt to update password, my saved password got silently overwritten by the security question answer

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.
This was from a while back, so I don't remember the version number then. I'm not going to sacrifice another one of my passwords to test this. Too lazy to find an unrelated website with this kind of behavior to reproduce.

Android and also iOS is getting the same update prompt as desktop has, meaning the user will have a chance to abort the update. I believe it should have happened in 55 or 54, but following the above "too lazy" approach, I did not check the exact number. :-P
