Comment 8 for bug 1848753

Yes, indeed the stored passwords inside chromiums sqlite file are encrypted. I didn't try to decrypt those, I didn't know where the key was. After seeking there are keys in the seahorse-application (it has a title "keyring") for chromium (and also chrome separately). Another key looks like a dummy and another one seems to be the actual login and password key.

I did execute the "sudo snap connect chromium:password-manager-service" and it was executed seemingly successfully with no messages displayed on command line. (I also tried for "chromium-browser", that returns an error, so I guess the exact command was ok then.)

After starting chromium-browser I'm still seeing the same message:
