Save Username/Password on Google Chrome for a localhost Address

Google Chrome does not allow me to save a Password and Username for one of my locahost addresses. It didn't have this problem in past versions but now I get the warning that the address is missing a .com at the end.

Does anyone know a way to force Chrome to accept credentials for one of my localhost applications?

For my server type I'd rather not use 127.0.0.1

I inadvertently found a way to trick it that seems to work perfectly. I was cutting and pasting the "did you mean suggestion to see if it worked and accidently pasted in the ?.com? at the end. Entering https://siteURL:9999?.com? strangely allows the site to be saved and it it is correctly shown as https://siteURL:9999 in the list. I think Google is assuming the ? mark is part of an unnecessary HttpGET string and truncates it leaving you with the correct URL.

Adding a '.' in the end of the "https://localhost:xxxxx/" will fix it, that marks 'all' following addresses of that path.

Right-Click Site Input Field and select Inspect
While input element is selected switch to "Event Listeners" Tab
Expand "blur" and "change" events and delete everything using trash icon
Now you can save any URL, repeat for each new password

Create a new text file, e.g. my-new-passwords.csv and insert the following content:

name,url,username,password,note

You can then add extra lines with your actual data. I didn't dig too deep into this, but here's what I got so far:

name can be any identifier you want to use as far as I can tell. Just use the domain name to be sure.
name is the start of the URL that has to match.
username and password are your actual logins in plain text.
note would be an arbitrary note you can add (just like in the password manager).

name,url,username,password,note
someserver,http://someserver/,myloginname,mypassword,

Once this is done, you should be able to import the file in the Password Manager and it will confirm the number of passwords it read. There's also an option to immediately delete the file just in case.
