Chrome Not Showing Saved Passwords
My Saved Passwords Are Not Being Populated on Sites I Visit Anymore. I Recently Downloaded Ubuntu 16 and I Seem to Have Lost My Passwords on My Newly Installed...
My saved passwords are not being populated on sites I visit anymore. I recently downloaded Ubuntu 16 and I seem to have lost my Passwords on my newly installed Google chrome. I checked the following.
- I have password sync settings turned on in chrome for all my devices (Macbook Air, Samsung Phone, Windows PC).
- I verified that the google account is the correct one which I have always used to save and sync passwords and other chrome settings.
- I checked passwords.google.com, making sure it is the correct account and all the saved passwords are gone! I had about 200+ saved passwords previously. So they don't show up on the devices and on my google cloud account anymore!
- I should also add that along with passwords, the saved addresses are also gone from Chrome settings. The payment methods however still seem to be there.
Of course, I never explicitly deleted or ask to delete passwords from any of my devices.
How should I recover them all in Ubuntu Google Chrome?

I just resolved this issue using "Remove Person"
Step 1 Go to the "Other Person Setting" by clicking your photo on the Google-chrome web browser in the rightmost corner.
step 2 Remove person
step 3 Login again with your Gmail account which has Saved Password details.
step 4 Turn on Sync
This should sync all the Google Chrome settings as well as your Saved Passwords.
Same issue on my Chrome on latest Linux Plasma/KDE
Fixed with:
- goto chrome://flags/
- enable #clean-undecryptable-passwords
- restart chrome

In my case, it's because of the disk access control of Chrome. Chrome saving password requires access to the disk. Some versions of Mac OS like Big Sur & Mojave will block chrome from saving passwords if the user not given chrome disk asscess.
system preference > security & privacy > privacy tab > Fill Disk Access > Unlock Settings and Add Chrome to the access list
