Lost access to my passwords after cloning the system to a new workstation

I am using Brave for a number of years now, and all my passwords are stored in the in-built password manager (desktop version).
I have recently changed my machine and cloned the drive from the old one. Now, when I try to access individual passwords in the password manager, and I type in my windows password, the request is denied with a message:
“The security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship”. That is a bit of an issue, as I can’t access some of my critical services. Please assist.

@skippythemeh passwords are encrypted using OS keyring. So cloning over elsewhere means it loses the encryption code. You have to import/export or sync if you want to share between devices. You can’t just clone over.

NOTE
Cloning over also can cause issues if you’re using Rewards, as it duplicates your Rewards Payment ID and will seem fraudulent.
