@EicJey ,last thread we had on this:
Website have hidden form fields which capture user id and password. If you have autofill enabled without prompting, malicious websites may be able to steal your stored credentials. The pop up comes up when the form is loaded with those hidden fields and the password prompt shows up because we disable autofill by default. This is a security feature that is implemented in Brave to never autofill password.
There is nothing broken here its the website that has implemented the hidden id/password fie…

## Description
When you visit a site for which you've saved a login while yo… u're not logged in, the login autofill popup appears unexpectedly in a weird location near the top left corner of the window. Interacting with the window in any way causes the popup to disappear, and clicking the popup itself has no effect.
If you then focus one of the input fields in the site's login form, the login autofill popup appears in the correct location (underneath the input field), and works as expected.
## Steps to Reproduce
1. Log in to any website and save the password when prompted.
2. Log out of the website.
3. Reload the page while logged out.
## Actual result:
A login autofill popup appears in a weird location upon reloading the page, e.g.
## Expected result:
The login autofill popup should only appear on a logged out site after an input field on the login form is focused. It should appear in the correct location and function as expected when it is clicked.
## Reproduces how often:
Easily reproduced.
