Does this file have the expected number of entries, with sites you
recognize as having your saved passwords that you cannot nonetheless
display? I attach one such file as an example. Namely we are looking for
--->
INSERT INTO logins
VALUES('http://example.com','','','username','userPassword',X'763130ea422b31c5606d2e8435833cf73bb492',
...
<---
Also please confirm that version > last_compatible_version in that file.
When you enter a site for which you have a password saved, does the key
button appear in the address bar, as in the attached picture?
> So for you, chrome://settings/passwords shows your passwords under 'Saved
> Passwords' without having to specify --password-store=basic?
Yes. And --password-store=basic should be neither needed nor correct if
password-manager-service is connected, as it is for working without
keyring, but it was worth trying just in case something had gone funky
in that aspect.
And one more thing worth trying is to export your passwords, that is a
button under the vertical dots button in that page. Then look in the
generated CSV and see if the passwords are readable there.

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.
