We have three domain names with pretty close to duplicate content (they're Magento sites). We'll call them production.com, development.com, and staging.com.
I have robots no-index on development.com and staging.com. I also have htpasswds enabled. A Google search of these domains shows that they haven't been indexed. However, I'm starting to get phishing warnings from Chrome when I log in to the back end of the software.
I need to stop this as soon as possible. If the warnings spread to the front-end, we're looking at pretty serious ramifications.
I've looked in Google Webmaster Tools, but it isn't registering any issues.
What is the best coarse of action? How do I get Chrome to stop thinking we're up to no good?

By noindex I assume you mean the meta robots element, and likely robots.txt, too.
Since you're using Apache you should try this directive:
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
Header set X-Robots-Tag "noindex, nofollow, noarchive"
<FilesMatch ".(doc|pdf|png|jpe?g|gif)$">
Header set X-Robots-Tag "noindex, noarchive, nosnippet"
</FilesMatch>
</IfModule>
This should suffice but banning all bots in robots.txt isn't a bad idea either (better safe than sorry).
Did you, or whoever would be the webmaster, verify ownership of all 3 domains in the same GWT account?
