Hmm, it's not entirely clear what a "main" password is -- probably worth
clarifying that bit of the comment.

Did you consider what happens when the values are equal because they are both
empty?

In that case it's not clear what the new password should be, so choosing one at
random might be the best we can do, but in that case we should at least put that
in a comment, especially since it is not consistent with the guess we make in
the else branch.

Or maybe the distinction only matters when we are about to save the password, in
which case it's reasonable to expect that the value is not empty?

[engedy, 2014/07/03 13:34:19]

We have discussed this with Vaclav to great length. There are two cases here:

 1) A form with two new password fields (sign-up form). The solution currently
implemented by this CL will result in correct behavior here.

 2) A change password form, with one field for the old, and one for the new
password. Here, we will initially decide that password_element == "" and
new_password_element != "" when we first see the form parsed/rendered. But
later, when the form is finally submitted with the two fields having different
values, we will have password_element != "". This will cause
PasswordManager::ProvisionallySavePassword not to be able to match the submitted
form to any of the PasswordFormManagers, so we will not save the credentials.

We consider (1) to be a more reasonable case to handle correctly, and (2) is
handled incorrectly by the old implementation already in the same way, so at
least we are not worse off. But perhaps we will need to revisit this later.

Perhaps we should take these cases into account when we refactor
PasswordFormManager::DoesManage(), and be on the lookout for matches between
re-purposed fields there.

[vabr (Chromium), 2014/07/03 14:42:56]

Thinking about (2) from a bigger distance, I think we should and can fix that.
Not in this CL, though, let's keep it more refactoring than changing behaviour.
LocateSpecificPasswords should have a way to signal it is unsure about the
choice of new_password_element, and DoesManage should be able to tolerate a
specific mismatch (observed new password == submitted current password) in that
case.
Balázs, would you mind filing a bug for fixing (2)?
