Long delay to display passwords stored by Google

2

2

I am using my Google account to store/synchronize my login information. On my Chromebook, passwords are displayed almost immediately after the page is loaded, but on my Ubuntu desktop computer, the delay to see the stored passwords is about 10-15 seconds.

Is there something to do to shorten this delay?

Are you for sure using Google Chrome on Ubuntu and not Chromium? Also what are the drive specs on the Chromebook and Ubuntu desktop? I have a feeling the delay comes from how the passwords are stored/retrieved. Has Ubuntu always had this problem, or is it a recent thing? Here is a bug report about this issue. You're not the only one who has experienced this.

If you are using latest version 51.0.2704.84 of Chrome on Ubuntu 14 or 16 and still having this issue, I think your Google Chrome profile is corrupt and you must create a new Chrome profile.

Before doing this you must backup/export your bookmarks

How to create a new Chrome profile:

  • Exit Google Chrome completely
  • Open Terminal and navigate to ~/.config/google-chrome/
  • Rename/move the Default Folder to Default.Bak using mv Default Default.Bak
  • Launch Chrome and Sign back in to Chrome

If you are on Ubuntu 12, this might be related to Seahorse. You can try resetting Seahorse or simply upgrading to Newer OS

How to reset Seahorse:

  • Open terminal and run the command below
  • rm ~/.local/share/keyrings/login.keyring

Note: Doing this will delete all saved passwords from Seahorse

I have done that (removing Default dir of in chromium and chrome config dir), and it is still very long to see login info. – Gael – 2016-06-21T11:39:13.070

@Gael Which one do you have ? Ubuntu 14 or 16 ? – pun – 2016-06-21T12:54:58.290

ubuntu 16.04 with gnome shell – Gael – 2016-06-21T14:16:15.447

@Gael Picked up my Ubuntu 16 again and have been playing with it since you commented but it does't happen to me and I know this has been logged as a bug. I have tons of update pending in it too. Does chrome://sync-internals/ show any problems for you ? How big is .config\google-chrome\defaults\login data\ ? – pun – 2016-06-21T16:29:29.223

in the sync-internals page, there is this error:Passwords Error: ModelAssociationDone@../../components/sync_driver/model_association_manager.cc:406, datatype error was encountered: Association timed out. – Gael – 2016-06-23T13:38:02.627

Login data's size is 18ko – Gael – 2016-06-23T13:38:50.443

@Gael Size seems to be fine but error in the sync page is not. I don't have sync error in any of my ubuntu 14 and 16 and haven't experienced any delays ever. Think of ways to fix it, also maybe put a screenshot of it in your OP. I will update if I find anything – pun – 2016-06-23T13:42:58.003

@Gael Maybe try this for starter

I have added a screenshot. – Gael – 2016-06-23T15:03:53.880

@Gael Did you tried the link above though ? – pun – 2016-06-23T15:09:37.963
