cant view passwords in linux with XFCE
-
Hi
I am having the same problem as a few others have had where I can not view any of my passwords.
They are there and they can be used to login to sites but I can not see them anywhere not in vivaldi password manager or in Seahorse to manage Gnome passwords.
I have tried vivaldi://password-manager/settings but they are not there, in seahorse I have Chrome safe storage control and chromium safe storage, although I can view the master password for that no other passwords are displayed.
It is the same issues as this thread a month ago> https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/100014/where-are-my-passwords/19
I have not changed anything other than trying to reinstall Vivaldi, backing up my profile folder first and then restoring it, I have not transferred it between any other OS just kept upgrading my Vivaldi and fedora for years.

Variations Seed Type NullThere must be some way of getting access to them given that I can actively use them, the issue also happens when I create new passwords for new sites, they are created and they work and are saved somewhere but the question is where?

@undernet Please update to 6.9.3447.46.
Do you use Autologin for your Linux account?
Had you tried to start Vivaldi without command line parameters or vivaldi://flags settings?
IF you do not see passwords in Vivaldi withchrome://password-manager/passwords
then something is broken with your GNOME keyring, which contains the encryption key for the login database. -
Is this what you're looking for?
