This was my case (experience some crazy data corruption with APFS), and while the backup was 2 weeks old (and I did not want to lose any tabs or history over that period), I recovered only these files from the backup and it helped to re-populate all (including recently saved) passwords from my Google Account.

Tip: In the future, if you decide you don’t want password prompts. At the top of the Passwords page, enable the Offer to Save Passwords option. In the Autofill section on the right, click Passwords. On the Settings page, in the left sidebar, click Autofill. as mentioned in the bug discussion, close Chrome, backup (just in case), then remove Login Data db from your problematic profile: From the three-dots menu, select Settings.As Augusto correctly noted, it's due to corruption of local Chrome's passwords database (see for more details), and chrome://flags/#clean-undecryptable-passwords was removed in recent versions (!?).
