We have several reasons of the issue.
First if all it's necessary to reinstall extension.
1. Extension was not installed with standart Windows error with Chrome.exe in header.
We are examining the issue. In this case we need dump file from the process where error occurred. It possible it's difficult for the customer do define this process. In this case we can organize online meeting and help the customer to make dump file.
2. Extension was not installed with error message in Chrome http://pix.my/PQdwbz
We don'e know why it occurs.
In this case we offer install extension manually from the store by the link https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sticky-password-autofill/bnfdmghkeppfadphbnkjcicejfepnbfe
Pavel P has added the ticket with request of the feature implementation on our web-site what will allow to get the error description.
3. The icon is grey:
We uses service spNMHost.exe for extension. We have to check whether this file was registered and run. For this we ask system info with opened Chrome and check it.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Sticky Password\spNMHost.exe should be in Running Processes partition in the system info.
3.1. spNMHost.exe is not run.
The issue with spNMHost running.
We have to ask a customer to sent us Chrome log. It allows to understand why it wasn't run.
Please do the next to get extended information from Chrome:
1. Add parameters to Chrome shortcut: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --enable-logging --v=1
2. Run Chrome
3. Wait about 1 minute
4. Press Sticky Password Button in Chrome.
5. Open Chrome profile folder C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data and send us file chrome_debug.log
3.2. spNMHost.exe is run.
Ask the customer to make sure that firewall doesn't lock SP
And send us screenshot of Console in Chrome:
1. Click on the Sticky Password icon in the upper right corner of your Google Chrome browser
2. Navigate to the Google Chrome menu - More tools - Extensions in your Google Chrome browser
3. Check the "Developer mode" option in the upper part of the opened page
4. Press the "Inspect views: spBackground.html" link next to the Sticky Password Autofill Engine
5. Take a screenshot of the opened Console tab

Proxy server uses local addresses.
Solution: In Windows Internet Properties check setting "Bypass proxy server for local addresses".
3.2.2. Screenshot like this http://pix.my/e9EKAb
Some application locks Web socket what SP uses for connection to extension.
It should be some antivirus, firewall, some advertising blockers like Ad Munch.
3.2.3. Screenshot with other error please send me.
