This has happened to my already-stored passwords as well after this update. They're suggested as autofill data and they exist in the Login Data file but password manager is empty and the export option isn't there.
I tried adding a new password and exporting, but it only exports the new one (which disappears if I close password manager and open it again)

Hi, @MaxTheDesertMan I deleted file C:\Users\NAME_HERE\AppData\local\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser-Beta\User Data\Default\Login Data
and imported the passwords again, this worked for me. I guess maybe you could try this.
Having the same issue on Linux with latest Brave Version 1.68.128 Chromium: 127.0.6533.73
Same issue in macOS, already stored passwords are not showing since 1.68 update. Not even the autofill works anymore. Downgrading to 1.67 restores the functionality, so the data is not lost, it's simply not accessible anymore.
Same here in debian bookworm. 1.68 does not open kwallet5 anymore. Reverted to 1.67 where it still works.
same here on Linux (Debian 12.6):

└── The web browser from Brave
edit: workaround: run with this flag to see passwords again
brave-browser --enable-features=SkipUndecryptablePasswords
edit2: I still have this issue on Debian 12.6 with version 1.68.134

Apparently, this is a Chromium issue: https://issues.chromium.org/issues/354847250. From Brave perspective, there is an ongoing discussion here: https://community.brave.com/t/aggregate-topic-lost-passwords-in-july-2024-update/560154.
This is basically a duplicate issue of https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/33548 - but this issue has some great info. I'll leave it open for now
@szilardszaloki is checking out the issue now 😄
Thanks for sharing the command line argument above --enable-features=SkipUndecryptablePasswords
. This should get most people fixed up. Chromium also had a Windows specific fix that we've pulled in with https://github.com/brave/brave-core/pull/24853. I'll get this pulled into our Beta and Release channels today
The super important thing is: there's no data loss, it's just not showing the passwords. I think even trying to use the passwords should work fine.
Thanks for properly capturing the Chromium issue @oidualc - we pulled that fix into Brave and will be merging to Beta and Release. Looks like in Chromium it's approved for merge into Chromium 127 and 128, which means we should see a Chromium bump coming soon for Brave too which has the fix.
Closing in favor of https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/33548
