<p dir="auto">Sorry if it's duplicate, but i wasn't able to find similar question, but: how to disable 'Save Password' popup which appear then you enter some creds on launching persistent context?</p>

<p dir="auto">If I remember it's 'credentials_enable_service' and 'profile.password_manager_enabled' pref settings. but wasn't able to pass it to playwright.</p>
<h3 dir="auto">System info</h3>
<ul dir="auto">
<li>Playwright Version: 1.36.1</li>
<li>Operating System: macOS 13.4.1 (22F82)</li>
<li>Browser: All</li>
<li>Other info: Mac is an M1 Max Mac Studio, in case the architecture is relevant.</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">I installed the browsers when I installed Playwright a couple of minutes before running <code class="notranslate">npx playwright test --ui</code>, so I'm not sure how it's managed to lose Chromium <em>already</em> <g-emoji class="g-emoji" alias="grin" fallback-src="https://github.githubassets.com/images/icons/emoji/unicode/1f601.png">😁</g-emoji></p>

<p dir="auto">Running <code class="notranslate">npx playwright install</code> manually did install them, and UI mode then worked as expected, so it seems to be an issue with <code class="notranslate">npx init</code>.</p>
