New issue 26653 by pkast...@chromium.org: Improve omnibox/history system  
handling of HTTP auth URLs
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=26653

There are two related fixes that need to be made:

* URLs with HTTP auth info should have usernames/passwords stripped before
entering the URL DB.  Otherwise, simply hitting ctrl-h and copying the link
address reveals the credentials.  It also prevents autocompletion on the
hostname, since we prefix-check against the credentials instead.  When we do
this we should probably "migrate" all the old data by stripping these.

* In either the AutocompleteInput parser or the HistoryURLProvider (I'm not
sure which), attempted usernames or passwords should be stripped off before
running autocomplete.
