Does this file have the expected number of entries, with sites you
recognize as having your saved passwords that you cannot nonetheless
display? I attach one such file as an example. Namely we are looking for

--->
INSERT INTO logins
VALUES('http://example.com','','','username','userPassword',X'763130ea422b31c5606d2e8435833cf73bb492',

When you enter a site for which you have a password saved, does the key
button appear in the address bar, as in the attached picture?

Yes. And --password-store=basic should be neither needed nor correct if
password-manager-service is connected, as it is for working without
keyring, but it was worth trying just in case something had gone funky
in that aspect.

And one more thing worth trying is to export your passwords, that is a
button under the vertical dots button in that page. Then look in the
generated CSV and see if the passwords are readable there.
