md-settings reference to passwords.google.com is confusing

Reported by vanantwe...@gmail.com, Nov 6 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2906.0 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Have passwords saved in chrome
2. Have sync enabled with own password phrase
3. Go to chrome://settings/passwords
4. Read: Access your passwords from any device at passwords.google.com
5. Click on the link + Login
6. Read: You have secured your Chrome data with a sync passphrase. You can access your data within Chrome on your syncing devices, but not from this website.

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
The settings page encourages the use of passwords.google.com, however, for users who have extra protection of its data (Need for 2 passwords in order to access personal information), this page doesn't work.

As a result, chrome is not just promoting you to sync all passwords in a less secure way, though, it is also giving you the wrong impression that you can see your passwords without chrome.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 56.0.2906.0  Channel: dev
OS Version: Ubuntu 14.04
