Where did my chrome bookmarks go?

[AC Question]

When I got my Samsung note 5, I lost my bookmarks, personalized folders and everything in them. How do I get them back?

Have you signed in to your Google account on that device ?

Have you checked exactly what you have synced on the Google Dashboard ? HTTPS://www.Google.com/Settings/Chrome/sync
You should see number of bookmarks , passwords and other info/detail, if they were saved prior to getting your new device.

I've been in dashboard reviewing account, haven't noticed what's what. Going now.

Well that explains alot. I had at one time set up a sync passphrase. When the MB went out in my laptop, I was unable to retrieve passphrase and reset said phrase. So that's why I can't get bookmarks. Thank you so much Ian! ! Btw, my son is named Ian So now this leads me to a new problem. I have all my bookmarks backed up on a flash drive. Anyway to get them on my note 5 without my laptop? Or does that require a new thread?
