Yes it seemed fine to me. Jitsi was limiting the resolution to 360p,
but the image was nice and clear.

I've just tried to reproduce the bug using the Chromium snap package,
version 91.0.4472.77.
I was able to save a new username/password, close the browser, open
the browser, then access the username/password.
In other words, I could not reproduce the issue.

If you go to chrome://version/ in Chromium, then it should tell you
your current Profile Path; the directory where you would find the

To my mind it seems more likely that router's Wi-Fi hardware, firmware
or software has always contained the possibility of getting stuck in a

This makes me think the code that handled the previous interrupt might
