If I rename "Login Data", I will lose all my passwords in "Login Data"?!

Instead: The list is empty. * Add another password: List stays empty. What I found out so far: * Despite of the list showing up as empty in chromium, both passwords have been stored in "~/snap/chromium/common/chromium/Default/Login Data" (to confirm, grep for the username of the saved login, as the password itself will be encrypted) * It seems that the snap version of chromium does not create the entries "Chrome Safe Storage" and "Chrome Safe Storage Control" in the gnome keyring, which seems to be necessary at the moment (see http://crbug.com/660005). If a non-snap version of chromium (e.g. from https://launchpad.net/~savoury1/+archive/ubuntu/chromium) is installed first, which is used to bootstrap the user's chromium config folder and which creates the aforementioned entries in the gnome keyring, things are working fine, even after transitioning to the snap version.
