** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+
After upgrading to eoan and accepting the deb->snap transition for
chromium, the passwords saved in my browser are no longer available to
the app, despite ~/snap/chromium/current/.config/chromium/Default/Login
- Data being present and fully-populated. If I go into settings, I see
+ Data being present and fully-populated. If I go into settings, I see
Saved Passwords: Saved passwords will appear here.
The data doesn't appear to be lost, since I have a copy in ~/snap as
well as in ~/.config/chromium, but somehow they're inaccessible.
+
+
+ [Test Case]
+
+ Install chromium-browser in disco (19.04), save a few passwords for login
forms.
+ Dist-upgrade to eoan (19.10), launch chromium, and verify that the saved
passwords are still there. They can be inspected by browsing to
chrome://settings/passwords.
+ As an additional check, the output of `snap connections chromium | grep
password` should look like this:
+
+ password-manager-service chromium:password-manager-service
+ :password-manager-service manual
+
+ I.e. the interface should be marked as manually connected, even though
+ the user hasn't explicitly connected it.
+
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+
+ Low. The change removes an assumption on upgrade paths that has become
+ incorrect. Now the password-manager-service interface will always be
+ connected on upgrade, which I think is sensible. Users who wish to
+ disconnect the interface (unlikely use case) will also have to remove
+ the chromium-browser transitional package, to prevent it from
+ reconnecting the interface.
