I didn't have a Mageia or chromium up, so I booted a live MX and 
installed chromium there and was able to enable the setting to ask for 
password, which was NOT the default.

Then I booted a live Mageia and went thru' a little dance to get more 
packages listed so that I could add the tainted. I don't like how Mageia 
handles the default condition of a live boot; I was able to 'get past' 
its backward condition and install chromium after I added tainted.

Then I opened the Mageia chromium and approached the process of enabling 
the pw manager similar to how I did it in MX, but I found that the 
Mageia chromium already had that condition 'offer to save passwords' 
already enabled, perhaps because I had enabled the encryption which I 
had not done in MX.
