@alessandro is this a previously unknown regression? I can't replicate trying store username/password.

Nothing I'm aware of.

Are you on Ubuntu with the default window manager?

Confirmed on ubuntu with default window manager.

I use Ubuntu 18.10. In the chooser by the green "Sign In" button there is a gear and it allows the choice of "GNOME", "GNOME on Xorg", "Ubuntu", and "Ubuntu on Wayland". I use the "GNOME on Xorg" one, normally, though because I have a high dpi screen on my laptop (3840x2160), I occasionally choose "GNOME" which starts Wayland instead of Xorg because it can occasionally make multi-monitor use easier especially with differing resolutions. However, this error occurs on both. (I never choose the "Ubuntu" options.)
