You can do that by adding some condition in the popup page itself:

<html>
<head>
<script>
function init() {
    if( SomeCondition ) {
        //Open some URL and close the popup.
        chrome.tabs.create({url: "http://yourloginpage.com"});
        window.close();
    } else {
        // Some other stuff to do with the popup here
    }
}
</script>
</head>
<body id="body" onload="init()">
<!-- Body of your popup if you'd like to have "static" content -->
</body>
</html>

I'd recommend taking a look at destructoBOT's Gmail checker. It's a
modified version of Chromium's sample extension that uses a popup and
does exactly what you are asking about:

Hope that helps,
