Description oli 2023-06-17 06:38:38 UTC
i had a warning appearing that someone else uses my chromium profile and if i am sure if thats me, i should "unlock" it. thats what i did, i clicked the unlock button.
the bad thing is, all passwords are gone. the form data is still there, the usernames are displayed when i click on a username textfield, but the password is not there. i have this randomly about every once a month and its a real PITA.

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce




i am not sure if this is caused by some update of a package like selinux or so, or if its really because of some kind of crash of the application (sigsegv or so).

if anyone can guide me how to collect more information, please tell me how

Comment 2 Than Ngo 2023-07-14 10:39:19 UTC
I also cannot reproduce this issue and recommend to report this issue to upstream

Comment 3 oli 2023-07-15 13:30:50 UTC
this is a very well known problem in chromium-freeworld too (from rpmfusion). i talked in #rpmfusion (irc) about that with some people.
i am not sure if its even related to chromium at all, maybe some other package that f*cks the db of chromium e.g. selinux.
so closing this without knowing anything at all might be inappropiate. at least imo
