Normally the update/upgrade tools require authentication before the update/upgrade process does anything so I'm not sure how chrome managed to download an update. What update icon did you use to start the download ?
Edit - strike out text below following the post by daveyboy which states chrome has an independent update mechanism which may adversely affect 'normal' updates making the problem more complex.
For the password required, part of the installation involves setting up an account on the system at the Who Are You ? stage of the install. Here you are asked for a username and password and to confirm the password. The username and password will be used at login if you selected the option to 'Require my password to login'. If you selected the option 'Log in automatically' during installation the login authentication is skipped.
However, the password is still there and is required if you make system changes. As an update is a system change, the system needs the password you set up on installation. If your login is not secured and you have forgotten the password that you set, you need to follow this instruction.
