Hi @shiveshk4 ,

Could you maybe check the discussion in the below thread, it talks about another extension also involved within the Browser which isn’t compatibility together with the Chromium mode. Suggestions are to change the Input Mode.

What is that Key near the Email field? Is that a Chrome extension? After further research, I think that is a Kaspersky extension for password management. The bad part is that it renders stuff on the page, inside an iframe, that is not accessible from our extension. There is a specific check inside the Chromium code that forbids attaching the debugger in these types of situations. The solutions are to use a different input method or to disable the extension for this page / browser.
