TPM: Intel TPM 600.18.25.209<br />
Browser: OperaGX</p>
<p dir="auto">After running <code>net user</code> to change my password of my local account due to not being able to key in the password due to hardware, all my <strong>passwords</strong> in the OperaGX password manager no longer appear. They are in the Login Data file, but are all encrypted, thus the system appears to be unable to decrypt them. Cookies and previous sign ins also appear to have been removed.</p>
<p dir="auto">I only possess backups of OperaGX Appdata after the <code>net user</code> password change (Login Data, Cookies, etc). When using net user to change the password of my local account, my device had <strong>Windows Hello and an alphanumeric Pin</strong>.<br />
TPM status is "ready for use" (after changing Windows password back to the one before running net user).<br />
Attempting to change the Windows password back did not reveal my OperaGX passwords either. I am not logged in or synced on OperaGX so I am unable to retrieve my passwords from the cloud.</p>
<p dir="auto">Which of OperaGX's files would be able to <strong>decrypt the passwords</strong> to retrieve my passwords? Otherwise, what steps can I take to <strong>retrieve my old passwords</strong> which are no longer visible?</p>
<p dir="auto">Thank you.</p>

What third party tools can I use to decrypt, if any?</p>
<p dir="auto">And how would I ensure OperaGX does not delete my newly entered passwords as they disappear after being added?</p>

Once you changed it, Opera/Chromium no longer can decrypt the information.</p>
<p dir="auto">You can try to see if you find some third party tool to decrypt your Login Data file.</p>
