As you can see in the screenshot, my Password is required. But the page that is acutally in focus does not require the password. 

So, somethimes with a lot of tabs and probably iframes etc, it is very difficult to determine which page is actually requiring access to my password store.
Hence, it would be very helpful to see, which page it actually is, before I grant access?

-> the popup dialog should e.g. tell 

" The site www.google.com/ig is requesting access to your password store. Please enter master password "

Probably depends on bug 1271851.
