Password manager not working

[Jasantes]

Hi, I'll try to be clear in my explanation. I use Thorium in fully portable mode, that is, by transporting the profile to the installation folder. How is this got? By adding some modifiers (flags) in the executable shortcut. Example: Target: D:\Thorium\thorium.exe --disable-machine-id --disable-encryption --user-data-Dir="D:\Thorium\Profile" See the attached image. So far so good, it works perfectly, except for one detail: the password manager does not record any password added or imported. It is empty on every startup. Maybe a Chromium bug? Any help will be appreciated.

Ah... something more: now I use Chrome++ to relocate my profile. https://github.com/Bush2021/chrome_plus

Please try not passing the machine id and encryption parameters. In addition, this issue does not belong to the scope of this repo. I will transfer this issue to other repo.

... But this will break the existing profile in that it won't be transferable in the future across different machines :wink:

the password manager does not record any password added or imported. It is empty on every startup.

... Probably because you're using the (cmdline) flag --enable-features=ClearDataOnExit (as a result of setting internal flag chrome://flags/#clear-data-on-exit to Enabled); but I wouldn't rule out your use of chrome++ as the culprit...

FWIW, I'm using latest M122 "legacy" x86 (on Vista SP2 x86) in a portable mode (via X-Launcher) and I'm not experiencing your issue :smile: :

You may try setting that option to 0. If the issue persists, it is likely not a chrome++ problem.
