Save password for about:blank?

Project Member Reported by jakearchibald@chromium.org, Sep 22 2017 
A dialog asking me to save a password for about:blank appeared.

I was logged out of corp https://inbox.google.com, as periodically happens, and the dialog just appeared. I think it was before I'd even entered a password.

1. We shouldn't be prompting to save a password for `about:blank`.
2. It doesn't sound like you typed anything into a password form, so perhaps our heuristics are borked?

CCing some folks from the password manager team who may be able to help diagnose what's going on.

Alex has disabled prompting for `about:blank`. Do we need to merge that back?

It seems like there is no severe reason to merge Alex's https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/658157 (which landed in 63.0.3222.0). Therefore I'm closing this as Fixed.

The second issue highlighted in #1, i.e., that Chrome proposes to save a password which the user does not remember typing, may still be open. If you find good reproduction steps for that, please file a new bug. Thanks!
