How to recover google chrome passwords from hdd?

My computer broke and I took out the hard drive to get my data back but chrome refuses to show me my passwords now and that's my passwords for absolutely everything

I have the entire hard drive from the computer that used them so I can't imagine what's missing and I even changed my windows password to the password I used previously in accordance with some other answer but I still get nothing

I desperately need my passwords to do anything on the internet.

Is the issue when you go to a website it show the password as ***** but you want to know what it is? Or does it show nothing at all, as if you've never been there? – Dave – 2016-09-29T08:07:14.077

all usernames for every site is listed but passwords are all blank – LCFigueroa – 2016-09-29T08:14:04.967

Have you looked in the SQLITE file "Login Data"? – Burgi – 2016-10-07T14:55:37.920

Looks like Chrome passwords on Linux are stored in various ways based on which desktop manager you use: see this Chromium doc.

This Ask Ubuntu question may help. – HewwoCraziness – 2019-08-18T00:15:52.833

I tried chromepass and linked it to the user folder on the external hard drive and provided the password and everything is still blank. – LCFigueroa – 2016-09-29T08:02:58.190

Strange, it worked when I used it. It was worth a shot. – rdkleine – 2016-09-29T08:20:46.233

This only works on Windows. I'm looking for a Linux solution. – Isaac Betesh – 2017-10-31T13:16:43.027
