I am trying to get Chromium to save my passwords. I’m on Lubuntu 25, which installs Chromium Version 141.0.7390.54 (Official Build) snap (64-bit). When I go to chrome://password-manager/passwords, it’s completely empty — but I’m 100% sure passwords are saved, because when I log in to sites like TradingView, Chromium auto-fills my email and shows the password field with asterisks — I click it and I’m logged in.

I checked /home/[MY-USER-NAME]/snap/chromium/common/chromium/Default and found the Login Data file — it’s 92 KB. I tried opening it with DB Browser for SQLite, and I can see all the tables… but in the password_value column, instead of actual passwords, I see things like “pass”, “passwd”, or other garbled text — nothing readable.
