What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Open chrome://password-manager-internals/
(2) Google for "pinterest"
(3) Wait for a few seconds and observe the log in chrome://password-manager-internals/ and the Chrome task manager.
There is a prerenderer tab for pinterest. In that tab the site tried to get a credential from the browser. If you have a valid autosignin credential then we'd return it back to the site.
In the similar cases the prerenderer destroys the tab if
- the page uses JS alert(), or
- the page uses an audio stream, or
- the site requires HTTP auth in LoginHandler::ShowLoginPrompt. This is a twin scenario.
CM API should be handled similarly.
