Too easy to irrevocably delete a saved password

Reported by pimlo...@gmail.com, Feb 21 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2924.87 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Go to chrome://settings/passwords
2. Select a password entry
3. Hit the "x" icon

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
It is too easy to accidentally delete a saved password, with no means of recovery.  The "x" icon to delete is close enough to the "Show" button that it can be clicked by mistake.  When this happens, there is no confirmation or other means to cancel the action.  The action happens immediately.  Furthermore, the Undo command does not have the expected effect of restoring the saved password (instead, it restores the previous password search query value).

As removing a password is a destructive act, there should be either some way of canceling or reversing the action.

One suggestion would be to add [Cancel] button on the password dialog box, next to the [Done] button.  Clicking this would revert any changes made to the saved passwords since the page was opened (or Done was last clicked).

Did this work before? N/A

Thanks for the report! While I filed  bug 673447  for this a while ago, it helps to have a confirmation from our users that this is a real issue.

Cc-ing our PM to highlight this: it could be an interesting topic for the list to go through this week with our UX designer.

Ah, I looked for previous bugs but somehow missed that.  But yes, this indeed happened to me in the real world yesterday.  I appreciate the attention.
