I never set up any security nonsense in what is a home pc, and it's certainly not looking for user passwords because I tried those. If I close the window, it reappears 5 times. Then chrome works.
Chrome and Chromium want to store your passwords in a safe way, which means either the Gnome Keyring or KWallet.
If you do not agree to the default choice (based on the Desktop Environment you are running) then you can add "--password-store=basic" to the commandline of Chrome (or Chromium).
That will use a plaintext local disk file to store information instead of an encrypted keystore/wallet.
