It contained all passwords that had been saved in my browser prior to this issue. Currently, I have a ~/snap/chromium/common/chromium/Default/Login Data which was last modified September 5. So perhaps passwords are still being written here. > Depending on the situation you could try --password-store=basic, but > given the already buggy circumstances, better have those configuration > files backed up. > Without a reproducible case and access to those data files, which of > course you must not share as it contains passwords, this is hard to debug. So for you, chrome://settings/passwords shows your passwords under 'Saved Passwords' without having to specify --password-store=basic? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2011281 Title: chromium snap upgrade "lost" my passwords Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: On upgrade to chromium snap revision 2333 (now since upgraded to 2367), I received a window with a notice about password migration: "Password storage via the Gnome keyring has been fixed, but for it to work, you have to rename your old ~/snap/chromium/common/chromium/Default/Login Data file so that a new, working one can replace it." I don't remember if I did this or not. However, when I went to use my saved passwords in chromium today, I found that they were absent. Tracking down the data in the chromium profile, I found that there was a ~/snap/chromium/common/chromium/Default/Login Data.old containing all of my passwords, and a ~/snap/chromium/common/chromium/Default/Login Data containing a single password entry for a site that I happened to have created a new login for in the past few days. That's not a very user-friendly experience on upgrade.
