Is there any way I can transfer passwords from my Mobile to the desktop?
Thanks for the reply. I used Google Chrome Password Manager. Yes I used Timeshift and will explore to see if there is anything there. I created a new version of LM on another disk so the old version must be around somewhere. Thanks,Not that I'm 100% sure of.
Let's start with a question or two:
How were your passwords stored prior to the upgrade?
Do you have a backup? If so, you could probably restore the backup and save your passwords before doing the upgrade again.
As this is Mint, you may have TimeShift available and may have TimeShift backups from before you upgraded.

Android - Samsung. Yes I have Gmail on my phone and it is working fineWhat brand mobile do you have....iPhone or Android ?
Do you have email on your phone?
I can't sign into Chrome as I have lost my password.why not just sign into Chrome (on the computer) with whatever account you use on your mobile device, let it import your data (bookmarks, password, etc), export the data, then sign out of that account? then you could import that data or just access it via a text/csv file, etc.
I use chrome myself and that's one of the things I used to make my transition to linux easier a few months ago. lots of folks dislike google's software, but the software's just a tool. my setup is such where each device I have has it's own gmail account, though they typically share the same dataset (passwords, bookmarks) in case one device ends up abruptly dying.
or, there's other management options --> https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95606?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform=Desktop
