[Chrome] "Make default password manager" has no effect

[bllngr]

Steps To Reproduce

Note: This has been observed on an organisation-managed installation of Chrome with the "Offer to save passwords" option forcibly disabled. See the screenshots below.

1. Go to "Settings > Auto-fill" in the Bitwarden extension pop-up
2. Enable any option for "Show auto-fill menu on form fields"
3. In the popup, select "Make default" to make Bitwarden your default password manager
4. Observe the option "Make Bitwarden your default password manager" getting enabled
5. Restart the browser.
6. Go to "Settings > Auto-fill" again
7. Notice the option "Make Bitwarden your default password manager" being disabled again.
8. Change "Show auto-fill menu on form fields" to another (enabled) option
9. Observe the popup being shown again

Expected Result

• The option stays enabled and works
• If that's not possible, an error message is shown to notify the user
• Optionally: the option gets greyed out, with an explanation why it can't be enabled

Actual Result

It behaves like the option gets enabled, but it doesn't seem to work and is silently disabled again after a Browser restart.

• I understand that work is tracked outside of Github. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.
