I accidentally cleaned my Chrome passwords with some 3rd party software (yes I know – Im a genius!). I've never synced the passwords online. Still it seems that the data exists in "Login Data" file ( %LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Login Data ). The good thing is that Im still on this machine and windows profile so I have the credentials and key to decrypt files with CryptProtectData (that's what I understood from other topics). This was the major issue when other people had similar question – they didn't have access to their original Chrome and Windows profile where the "Login Data" file came from.
a) I can see plain text URL's and logins in "Login Data" file
b) I could recover small part of passwords with (DPAPI DataProtectionDecryptor v1.10) https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/dpapi_data_decryptor.html (screenshots attached)
BUT – on one hand I have just logins and url's in large file ("Login Data") on the other hand I decrypted few but not related to logins or URL's …
I tried also other software:
a) DB Browser for SQLite (1 password retrieved because I added new pass not being aware that they were deleted) – so it's from "new" clean database
b) ChromePass v1.52
https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/chromepass.html
c) WebBrowserPassView v2.07
https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/web_browser_password.html
The software also see only new password even when I try different settings.
Helpfull topics that Im not able to understand technically:
https://www.thepythoncode.com/article/extract-chrome-passwords-python
How does Google Chrome store passwords?
Where are Google chrome passwords stored in windows?
Google Chrome. How to restore passwords from profile folder?
I've read other topics on this matter but still cannot figure it out (Im NOT a developer). I cannot code but I understand some of it. I don't have servers installed, Im not on linux so please try to not paste line of codes in python for the answer.

Lots of passwords in password decryptor failed to decrypt
Even when it's decrypted I don't know what's the login and what's the URL
Thank you in advance!
