Description

I see a problem in latest microG. When using Chrome v.123,124,125, chrome's Password manager won't work/open. Sites do not offer to save passwords anymore and autofill passwords don't work. It works on older Chrome builds like v.122 and below. However, using older microG 0.3.0, latest Chrome works as it should, everything is fine. Please fix. Android 14 qpr2.

Research direction

The issue provides no source file, entry point, or test to follow. First reproduce the password-saving and autofill failure on Android 14 QPR2 with Chrome 123–125 and compare it with Chrome 122 and microG 0.3.0; done means the affected Chrome versions offer saving and autofill again, with a regression test if the relevant code path is identified.
