Public bug reported:
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.
