Title:
[snap] Passwords are saved but not loaded with gnome keyring
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Steps to reproduce:
* System: Fresh (minimal, desktop) installation of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS in
VirtualBox to rule out any side-effects from preexisting configurations
* Install latest updates: `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt
dist-upgrade -y && sudo snap refresh`
* Install chromium from snap (`sudo snap install chromium`)
* Connect chromium to password manager service (`sudo snap connect
chromium:password-manager-service`) -> now chromium should be able to use gnome
keyring to store its master password
* Launch chromium, navigate to "chrome://settings/passwords"
* Add a new password ("Saved Passwords" -> "Add")
* Password shows up under "Saved Passwords" as expected.
* Close chromium and open it again, navigate to "chrome://settings/passwords"
* Expected: Password should show up. 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.
