This dialog, I believe, is triggered by the existence of the a password 
form element (usually meant to send sensitive information, probably a 
credit card in this case). This dialog is under user control, not site 
control. Users can choose turn that dialog off for particular sites. The 
reason for this is some login pages can actually be quite 
complicated/extensive. User control of this is managed under privacy & 
security-> Web Passwords in the preferences.

  BTW this dialog is not generated by PSM (you will get it in a non-PSM 
system, but passwords would be obscured, not encrypted). I don't believe 
there's a way to turn this off from the website side.
