"Never Save password" list

Reported by planet...@gmail.com, Mar 22 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.140 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
*Accidentally* save a critical password.

I connect to a multiple systems using high level passwords, eg my sysadmin password.  The password database gets copied to any machines where I use Google Chrome.  Some of these have weaker security.  While I would endeavor to never save critical passwords mistakes happen.

Typical case would be where a user (eg me) uses the same Google identity in a work environment and on various home computers.  

What is the expected behavior?
Desired behaviour: 

Google refuses to save a password that has been added to a Never Save Passwords encrypted list. 

What went wrong?
From a security perspective it would be desirable to be able to add key passwords to an encrypted list of never-to-be-saved passwords.  Since only a secure hash is stored the background password database copy does not compromise these passwords.

Did this work before? N/A

Considering this as a feature request and making the status to Untriaged so that the issue would get addressed.

Thank you.

I think this is mostly a feature request for the password manager, adding appropriate label.

Note that you can delete the accidentally-saved password via chrome://settings or via passwords.google.com. That will cause it to be removed from all synced Chrome instances. Alternatively, you can also turn off syncing of passwords in particular at chrome://settings/syncSetup.

Marking this as available. The feature sounds reasonable but it won't be anything we build any time soon due to prioritization.
There's also a list of sites on which passwords should never be saved at chrome://settings/passwords; since passwords should be unique per-site, you should be able to use that.
