Prompt to save login password does not appear for some websites

Reported by weiwu.zh...@awallet.io, Sep 17

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu Chromium/69.0.3497.81 Chrome/69.0.3497.81 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
For years I often come across websites which would cause Firefox to prompt for a save-password dialog and Chromium wouldn't. This affects to up about 5% of the websites and there is no clear pattern I can observe (e.g. some websites using perfect valid SSL certificate exhibit the problem as well). Now I have a firm case so I document it here.

1. click login on afr.com
2. username and password available through private emails on request.

What is the expected behavior?
3. The user gets a prompt message to save login password.

What went wrong?
3. login successfully while there is no Chromium prompt for saving password

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 69.0.3497.81  Channel: n/a
OS Version: 
Flash Version: 

The possible causes are:

1) the login actually is sent to myfairfax.com.au - the company who owns AFR.com. Maybe this confused Chromium (but not Firefox or the LastPass plugin)

2) the login caused the page changes a few times. Maybe the browser thinks the user already ignored the save-password by advancing in a few pages after login (while the user did nothing, likely javascript at work).
 
After repeated-try, I actually successfully saved the password for afr.com. Here is how:

1. After hitting "Submit" button on the login, quickly unplugged the Ethernet cable. Unplug the upstream of the router, not the computer cable, so that the browser doesn't know.

2. The website would display "Redirecting, please wait", a page rarely observed if the user has the Ethernet cable on. A prompt for saving password is there too.

3. Click "Save Password".

4. Reconnect the cable to allow the login to proceed on.
