This is a default Ubuntu environment.

Output here is:
$ chromium --password-store= --enable-logging=stderr --v=1 |& grep 'backend for
OSCrypt'
[4103636:4103636:0519/230949.699268:VERBOSE1:key_storage_linux.cc(122)]

chromium continues to be able to *use* my saved passwords. But I don't know
where they're actually saved, and I can't access the plain text of the
passwords through chromium, which continues to be a problem.

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.
