Expected result:
Getting my raw password data and adding it back to my password manager from the SQLite file and/or restoring it completely

@PASSWORDSGONE

There is a lot of info to study. Within it, you may determine IF there is a chance for your recovering your passwords.

MUCH depends upon whether or not you have been maintaining routine data backups -AND- your willingness to study.

Studying the recent information available:

Searching for keyword passwords in the topic/title of issues, here at the Brave Community:

@PASSWORDSGONE unfortunately there is nothing that can be done overall. You can kind of see a bit about this via https://support.brave.app/hc/en-us/articles/29808985123085-Sensitive-data-storage but the key thing is Brave uses OSCrypt for the encryption key. On Windows this would be the DPAPI, which is the browser keychain. If anything happens to corrupt that, then the encryption key gets lost.

So while you may have the encrypted file, nobody has the key to it. IT seems like whenever you had your bluescreen it caused a corruption. Your only hope would be if you had an active sync chain or you had done some backups, such as exported your passwords.
