I hit some confusion over the weekend when I was trying to generate a password, turns out chrome://settings/passwords needs "Offer to save passwords" enabled to offer to generate passwords.

I think this saving generated passwords shouldn't need this permission. It's confusing why it's not in the drop-down for the input field.

Also this requirement is not mentioned in the support article, so if it's deemed necessary it should probably be updated: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/7570435?hl=en
