Received an update last week. Ever since then, I lose my saved passwords for all websites that I had set to be saved after rebooting my system. This only started after this most recent update.

I uninstalled Chrome, rebooted my machine and then reinstalled Chrome. I logged into a few sites and then rebooted only to see my passwords were wiped out again.
Microsoft? Anything?
Try logging in to your Google account and make sure sync is turned on and see if they come back. That worked with me but I completely uninstalled Chrome as I do not trust Google especially since you have to sign in to see saved passwords and saved sites.

I removed Chrome, IE, Edge and Firefox and reinstalled all. So far, it forgets my passwords for Google, Outlook, Quicken.com, Microsoft.com, and any site that requests the user id and password in two separate steps. I've been working on this for a week and cannot get it resolved. I've tried all of the steps in all of the preceding posts with the exception of rolling back the Windows update.
Firefox was not affected by the update as it is not Chromium based. To get your saved passwords back in Firefox you need to sign into your Firefox account and turn on sync. Once your passwords and sign ins are repopulated you can sign out of your Firefox account and they will stay unlike Chrome and Edge Chromium where you have to stay signed in to your Google account for Chrome and your Microsoft account for Edge chromium to keep them. Once you sign out of those two they will no longer be visible after a restart or wake from sleep. If you are within the 10 day grace period after installing version 2004 you can try rolling back to your previous version. Why Microsoft and Google now made it where you have to sign in to your accounts and turn on sync in order to use your saved sign ins and passwords is beyond me unless they want to track you on the web and see what sites you are accessing and gathering data about you. Like I said I completely uninstalled Chrome and moved Edge off my taskbar as I will not use it anymore unless I absolutely have to. Firefox is my default and I installed Ice Dragon 64 bit which is based on Firefox platform to use as my backup. I hope you have luck as a lot of us are upset over this change.

That's what I just did per DonT5 suggestion. It wiped out the few passwords that I had time to save prior to the change.
Kevin try removing Chrome altogether then reinstall it then sign in to you account. Sorry it wiped your passwords you had saved. Do you by chance have those passwords saved in Edge Chromium that you could import to Chrome. If so try that while you are signed in to Chrome with your Google Account with sync on.
