Why is my password list empty but my passwords are still being populated on log-ins?

The issue has been going on for 2-3 months: my password manager doesn't show my saved passwords anymore. My passwords are still being populated on log-ins and the offer to save user name and password is still working. The new passwords are being saved and retrieved on log-in. I just cannot edit or delete my stored passwords. I am running Chromium Version 86.0.4240.75 (Official Build) Built on Ubuntu , running on Ubuntu 16.04 (64-bit)
