Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/55.0.2883.87 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Set registry value and data "PasswordManagerEnabled"=dword:00000000 in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\Recommended] 2. Close Chrome and reopen it 3. Go to Settings, and under Passwords and forms, the entry for "Offer to save your web passwords." shows the enterprise icon 4. Click on the enterprise icon, and the balloon shows "Your administrator recommends a specific value for this setting. Follow recommendation" even if the setting already matches the recommendation 5. Click on "Follow recommendation" and the setting toggles 6. Click on the enterprise icon, and the balloon shows "Your administrator recommends a specific value for this setting. Follow recommendation" 7. Click on "Follow recommendation" and the setting toggles 8. Rinse and repeat What is the expected behavior? The balloon should behave the same as other settings configured in the same method; when the setting matches the recommendation in the registry, show the "You are following the administrator's recommendation for this setting." instead of suggesting that they toggle the setting to the opposite if the recommendation. What went wrong? Wrong dialog box shown when the setting matches the recommendation, for: "BookmarkBarEnabled"=dword:00000001 "PasswordManagerEnabled"=dword:00000000 "SafeBrowsingEnabled"=dword:00000001 Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 55.0.2883.87 Channel: stable OS Version: 10.0 Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 24.0 r0 I'm just setting defaults for initial image deployment; if further changes are required, they'll be set via GPO.

The report states that this is broken for BookmarkBarEnabled, PasswordManagerEnabled and SafeBrowsingEnabled. This does not sound password-specific, and AFAIK there is no password-specific code to handle the recommendation tooltip. I'm not sure who owns the code for handling the recommendation tooltip, so I'm adding more labels to increase the audience.

Followed the steps mentioned in #0, unfortunately I am not able to reproduce the issue in latest stable- 56.0.2924.87. Not seeing "Follow recommendation" balloon. Setup used ========== Windows server 2012 and Win 7 , Win 10 clients. marc.leblanc2@ are you still seeing the same in latest chrome version 56.

Yes, using Chrome 56.0.2924.87 (64-bit), installed via the MSI. I've seen the same behaviour on multiple devices with Windows 10 Enterprise. These are recommended settings, not enforced settings, so the registry values are in the \Recommended key. That may make a difference.

Adding dbeam to this issue. Can you please check why clearing a pref would flip its value back and forth. I checked that this indeed happens with recommended policies as described in this bug.
