For quite some time now, Chrome (think years) refuses to prompt for saving passwords whereas Firefox and Safari do prompt and save them, even for site types that it used to save passwords for in the past.
It has been annoying enough for too long now that I tried to do better than the Google searches I used back when I saw this happen first.
Below are some links based on new searches (starting with [Wayback] adding a password in chrome settings – Google Search); hopefully I can try them after I made a list of sites that Chrome does not show the password save prompt for.
Solutions I tried that failed (but maybe useful for others):
Solutions still to try:

Classic browsers
Going back to in time old web-pages using old web-browsers is fun!
[Archive.is] wayback_exe (@wayback_exe) | Twitter automatically does it for you.
A short introduction is at [Wayback] muffinlabs – @wayback_exe.
There is a playground at [Archive.is] oldweb.today where you can choose which classic browser to use for viewing and what page to view with it.
You can fiddle around with the node.js based code that is available on GitHub: [Wayback/Archive.is] muffinista/wayback_exe: code for twitter bot @wayback_exe

Only recently, I learned this works on just about any web-browser:
Ctrl-9 (macOS: Command-9) goes to LAST tabCtrl-1 (macOS: Command-1) goes go FIRST tab
Via: [WayBack] Switch Between Tabs in Any Browser Using Shortcut Keys
For those keyboard ninjas who hate using the mouse, switching between tabs in your browser window is essential since most people probably have a bunch of tabs open at once. […]
…
If you want to go to a specific tab, you can press CTRL + N, where N is a number between 1 and 8. Unfortunately, you can’t go past 8, so if you have more than eight tabs, you’ll have to use a different keyboard shortcut or just click on it. CTRL + 9 will take you to the last tab, even if there are more than 8!

For expired or self-signed certificates with an untrusted chain, you might want to by base the Chrome certificate/HSTS error message.
Instead of clicking a few times, you can also type ‘badidea’ (this used to be ‘thisisunsafe’ and might change again someday).
Based on: [WayBack] security – Does using ‘badidea’ or ‘thisisunsafe’ to bypass a Chrome certificate/HSTS error only apply for the current site? – Stack Overflow
Found via [WayBack] KPN-klanten kunnen Experiabox V10A niet benaderen door verlopen certificaat – Computer – Nieuws – Tweakers
Source code that handles this: [WayBack] components/security_interstitials/core/browser/resources/interstitial_v2.js – chromium/src – Git at Google
/**
* This allows errors to be skippped by typing a secret phrase into the page.
* @param {string} e The key that was just pressed.
*/
function handleKeypress(e) {
var BYPASS_SEQUENCE = 'badidea';
if (BYPASS_SEQUENCE.charCodeAt(keyPressState) == e.keyCode) {
keyPressState++;
if (keyPressState == BYPASS_SEQUENCE.length) {
sendCommand(SecurityInterstitialCommandId.CMD_PROCEED);
keyPressState = 0;
}
} else {
keyPressState = 0;
}
