WebdriverIO How to DISABLE "Save Password" popup in Chrome 84?

I'm desperate to find this solution because it seems nothing on the web is working atm.

My WDIO dependencies

"@wdio/browserstack-service": "^6.1.15",
"@wdio/cli": "^6.3.4",
"@wdio/cucumber-framework": "^6.3.0",
"@wdio/devtools-service": "^5.13.0",
"@wdio/local-runner": "^6.3.4",
"@wdio/spec-reporter": "^6.3.0",
"@wdio/sync": "^6.3.3",

Basically I need to disable this popup: https://imgur.com/a/51GZLtY

I've disabled a param in my chrome:

chrome://settings/passwords - Offer to save passwords

observed file

AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Preferences

1 pref were added

"credentials_enable_service": false,

worth to mention that I've tried other values:

"credentials_enable_service": "false"
"credentials_enable_service": 0
"credentials_enable_service": "0"
"credentials_enable_service": 1
"credentials_enable_service": "1"
"credentials_enable_service": 2
"credentials_enable_service": "2"

in my capabilities I have added the following:

"goog:chromeOptions": {
    "prefs": {
      "credentials_enable_service": false
    },
     "args": [some arguments]
  }

But popup is still present and in a chrome created by WDIO I can see that param

chrome://settings/passwords - Offer to save passwords - is ENABLED

So my question is whether WebdriverIO passes "goog:chromeOptions": { "prefs": {} } to Chrome browser? It seems that prefs are not passed. Atleast in a form i try because args array work perfectly

Any suggestions?

Simply add '--enable-automation' to the args.

Updating Capabilities like this works fine in the Chrome browser

    capabilities: [{

        'goog:chromeOptions': { 
            args: ["--disable-gpu", "--enable-automation","--headless"]
       }
    }],
