Chromium will not save passwords - Solved

Hello all running 134 no issues. Upgrade to 135 lose all passwords, reinput and lose again on close.
Uninstalled Chromium and removed all entries on my system.
Reinstall and load passwords. Close and lose passwords again.

Also notice that there are no entries for chromium 135 in my KDE menu editor.

Is anyone else having these issues ?
Can someone advise ?

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Chromi … word_store - try the basic one.
Does 134 properly use kwallet and do you get any xdg-desktop-portal or similar errors from trying to use the password store?

Also notice that there are no entries for chromium 135 in my KDE menu editor.

snbapflatchdockerpak or from the repos?

stat /usr/share/applications/chromium.desktop

Re: Chromium will not save passwords - Solved

Seth,
Thank you for your reply.
I did not get any useful errors in terminal. I tried multiple commands that I found online but nothing was working.

I finally solved by completely removing all chromium files, libgnome-keyring, gnome-keyring and then turning off kwallet and deleting kwallet rc files in /home/.confi
Restarted and turned on Kwallet again. Installed chromium and it came up with the pasword dialog for kwallet two time. Input pass and it was fixed.

Menu entry was fixed by deleting all previous entries in the menus and then goting to edit tab in kmenu and restoring menus.

Long way around but it worked.
Solved.

Updated
I reinstalled gnome-keyring and passwords dissappeared again.
Rcns gnome-keyring and passwords were back.
