Chrome - Authentication Required. The server requires a username and password

We have a web application that has been working for a long time. A couple days ago, users started to report that after changing their domain password, Chrome started to show a popup stating: "Authentication required. The server server123 requires a username and password".

Some information:

  1. this only appears for Chrome. The "authentication required" popup box does not appear with Internet Explorer or Firefox.
  2. The website is only exposed internally to our company, not to the outside world
  3. We do not have a DNS entry for the website, so users simply access it via the web-server name and application: http://server123/website
  4. This was reported by a user only after they updated their domain password
  5. I am unable to duplicate the issue using Chrome from my computer using the same address
  6. I found the following: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic /chrome/vA7oWrxIE8k and followed the steps listed by pbellrichard on 2/12/2010 and this did not correct the issue

You might be having this problem that Chrome recently created:

https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=544255

I'm not savvy enough to understand what the problem is but it looks like they're going to be trying to merge a fix back into v47.

Also from the comments it doesn't look to have a permanent workaround.

Cheers!

(Update) Looks like it was resolved as of v47.0.2526.80 (see: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=544255#c205)

The request for username and password stems from the Zenmate Chrome Extension VPN on server pingcdn.org or similar, depending on locality.
