WHYT

I've looked through various issues describing the error message but not finding anything particularly relevant. I did print the value of config right before https://github.com/n8henrie/pycookiecheat/blob/42941d935ee8ee48b0e7fe9acbe1cce447497baa/src/pycookiecheat/chrome.py#L280

and can see that 'key_material' is the same as the key that seahorse shows me for Chrome Safe Storage.

I'm happy to sprinkle print()s wherever else is needed to gather whatever info is needed.
