Quick answer
Identify whether Chrome is asking for a custom sync passphrase rather than the current account password. Preserve local data before considering a reset.
Understand the issue
Check your own records and the devices that still contain the needed information. Do not send the passphrase to someone offering remote help or assume a reset is without consequences.
Step-by-step checks
- Read the exact passphrase prompt.
- Check available local browser data and backups.
- Follow Google's supported recovery guidance before resetting.
