"Never saved" is misleading and confusing

Project Member Reported by dbloch@google.com, May 11 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/60.0.3088.4 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Tell Chrome not to ask you to offer to save the password for some site.
2. Go to the password manager.

What is the expected behavior?
Information shown makes sense.

What went wrong?
At the bottom of the password manager there's a section called "Never Saved".  This communicates no information, since "never saved" describes every password in the world except the six in the "Saved Passwords" section above it.  I literally had no idea what it meant, and had to do a web search to find out (actually it's also in the help).

This should say "Never save", which would be clear.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 60.0.3088.4  Channel: n/a
OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2)

Thanks for the report. I agree, "never saved" makes little sense, "never save" is better.

bettes@, would you be happy to approve the change of the section title from "Never Saved" to "Never Save" in MD settings (settings/passwords)?

This is apparently still an issue.

srahim@ -- in chrome://settings/passwords, the second list of passwords is currently titled "Never saved". Would you agree that it makes sense to rename it to "Never save", given that both
(1) The sites listed there are those where the user wishes Chrome to never save a password, and
(2) All the entries in that section are, in fact, saved in Chrome (so "never saved" is confusing)?

Thanks!
Vaclav

+nepper, maxwalker just to keep them in the loop.
Please be aware that this string is used in various UI surfaces (incl. outside of Chrome) + helpcenter articles etc.

I'll keep this bit in mind as we are discussing reworking our strings in general.
