Chromium never asks to remember password for GSuite account

Reported by stu...@anchev.net, Mar 16 2018

Issue description

Chrome Version       : 65.0.3325.162
OS Version: 
URLs (if applicable) :
Other browsers tested:
  Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue:
     Safari:
    Firefox:
    IE/Edge:

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Visit https://mail.google.com
2. Login using a GSuite account (not a free Gmail one)

What is the expected result?
Chromium should offer to remember login credentials

What happens instead of that?
Chromium does not ask that. It asks only for a @gmail.com account.

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.

I am actually logged in with the GSuite account in the chromium browser profile.

UserAgentString: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/65.0.3325.162 Safari/537.36

As this issue needs GSuite account to test and confirm the issue, as ET team doesn't have GSuite account to test, hence forwarding it to Inhouse team for further triaging it. Adding label as TE-NeedsTriageFromHYD.

Thanks!

Tested the issue using #65.0.3325.162 and #65.0.3325.181 on Linux Debian rodete and could not reproduce the issue as per the steps mentioned below.

1. Launched Browser
2. Navigated to https://mail.google.com/ and signed in with my Corp account details
3. Observed the password save bubble on top right corner.

@reporter: Could you please try this in latest Chrome and also provide which Linux OS flavor you're using?

Thanks!!

Have you enabled chrome sync (see chrome://settings/syncSetup)? In that case we don't offer to save the password as it would be autofilled in passwords.google.com. We built this as a hurdle (not a full protection) to prevent people with access to your computer from very quickly viewing your saved passwords.

> Have you enabled chrome sync

Yes. But when I looked on another computer and the Chromium on it (which uses a @gmail.com address) - the browser does remember the @gmail login (i.e. the password is saved). Or are you creating the hurdle just for GSuite accounts explicitly?

The mechanism mentioned in #5 (and in [1]) is not specific to GSuite. On every instance of Chrome, if an e-mail is listed as "Username" on chrome://sync-internals/, then this particular e-mail should not be saved on accounts.google.com. All other e-mails should be saved. Are you observing something contradicting this?

Thanks for explaining. Then I guess this is not a bug but how it is supposed to work.

Just a note: I haven't tested this with regular (@gmail.com) address.

Thanks for the reply. Even if it is currently working as intended, we do appreciate the signal that it is confusing, and we will keep looking for opportunities to fix that.
