The given code cannot get passwords from chrome browser, with version above v80

Starting with Chrome 80, the browser encrypts local passwords and cookies in Windows using AES-256 encryption. Prior to Chrome 80, the browser leveraged the data protection API (DPAPI) built into the OS to handle encryption chores. And it still does, but AES-256 acts as another layer of protection for added security.

( I don't think there is any method currently for recovering passwords Chrome 80+. The only way is going in settings and viewing it there. )
