Authenticator and Chrome browser

After successfully using Authenticator to login to an account via Chrome browser on both phone and computer, I am always prompted to "Update" password after entering it correctly. I am usually using Chrome on computer and habitually select "OK", however I am noticing that when I do this via Chrome on phone, it prompts me to "Update" password or "Cancel." There seems to be a problem when trying to select "Cancel" and Authenticator forces me to select "Update."

Selecting "Update" will generate a new password then save it and replace current password and then I become locked out of that account. Please advise.
