I upgraded on 25th May office computer Debian Stretch to Buster. Home
directory comes from NFS server. Chromium browser now longer has the stored
passwords available.

Other browsers, Firefox and Google Chrome, do have the passwords still.

Where did chromium browser on Stretch store the passwords? It is
not ~/.config/chromium/Default/Login Data, I restored from old backups but
on none of the backed up files does the logins -table contain any entries.

Does it matter if chromium is started with parameters %U -incognito
