• A relevant example test
  Login to any username/password site. When successfully logging in, the save password dialog appears.

• Output from running the test
  Timeout because the test cannot do anything once the password manager appears

• Steps to reproduce the bug
  Login to any username/password site. When successfully logging in, the save password dialog appears.

Add the following in your protractor config. This should disable the chrome password manager:
Tested on Windows 10, Chrome 57.

capabilities: { 'browserName': 'chrome', 'chromeOptions': { 'prefs': { 'credentials_enable_service': false, 'profile': { 'password_manager_enabled': false } } } }

I am running tests using an old version of https://github.com/teerapap/grunt-protractor-runner which has a very old version of protractor and also which uses an old version of the chrome driver. New version of chrome driver addresses this issue.

Latest Release: ChromeDriver 2.28

Supports Chrome v55-57

Changes include:
Fixes a bug which blocked ChromeDriver automation extension from loading and thereby causing window resizing/positioning & screenshot functionalities to break.
