Of course, all of this means that you need to have at least one device with an up-to-date copy of your browsing data on it. Sign back into your devices after resetting Chrome Sync, and you can likely go about your business as if nothing happened. Thankfully, Chrome reset doesn’t affect any offline copies of your browsing data. It auto-deletes all the data saved on the Google servers, and you’ll be signed out forcibly from Chrome running on all of your devices that use the same Google account. However, a Chrome Sync reset also comes with consequences. And to do that, you need to reset Chrome Sync. Hence, the only recourse is to remove it. If you forget your passphrase, you won’t be able to use Chrome Sync except on devices that already have one in place. The sync passphrase only encrypts the data stored on the Google servers, and primarily works as a security measure to stop your Google Account information from being accessed if a third-party app goes rogue. If you just signed into Chrome and kept getting asked for a passphrase to initiate Chrome Sync, you can still have it removed while keeping your browsing data intact. Thankfully, the way how a sync passphrase functions suggest that you still have hope even if you forget your passphrase.
