For around 4-5 years I had problems with the password manager - I've not been able to see my passwords, neither to add a new password to the password manager. The autofill has been working fine.

I finally got the energy today to finally solve this. I've been reading different articles and did following:

1. Created new profile 2. Put the passwords.json and key4.db into the new profile

After the change non of the profiles is even showing the passwords in autofill. How can I validate if the passwords.json + key4.db is the correct ones?

Now I'm panicing since I don't even have the autofill possibility...

I just set up one more profile - The fresh profile was working fine with adding a new password to the password manager. But once I add the correct logins.json + key4.db = I'm not able to add a new password in password manager anymore.
