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?

Have you looked in the SQLITE file "Login Data"?

Nirsoft has a tool named ChromePass. I've used this tool in the past to recover passwords from a old laptop which has crashed.

I tried chromepass and linked it to the user folder on the external hard drive and provided the password and everything is still blank.
