The autofilled password appears as set, but it is actually not set to
textbox unless you enter/click in the dropdown. We get the DOM element
value as blank even if it appears filled. This is how chromium autofill
behaves. Upon hitting enter the autofill value is set to the textbox and OK
button is enabled.

I have made the changes to allow blank master password, plus enabling OK
button always. Attached is the updated patch.
