Passwords to websites are saved in your browser, not windows. If you are syncing your browser passwords across ALL your other devices, that means you have to log in to your browser to see all the passwords that are syncing.There's always a chance your browser had an update that wiped the passwords but I have never seen that happen. Within your browser settings, make sure that sync is turned on and that you are signed into the browser.

As a long-time proponent of redundancy, I use Keepass 2 on all my devices, as well as browsers for frequently used passwords. Notice I said browsers as in plural, I use Chrome for all things Google and everything else is in Brave. I also use 2FA for all my banking/credit card/online shopping sites. I realize that it might be too late in this instance, but something to think of for future disasters.

Manually Re-sync Browsing Data in Microsoft Edge

This tutorial will show you how to manually re-sync your browsing data in Microsoft Edge for your account in Windows 10 and Windows 11. The Microsoft Edge web browser is based on Chromium and was released on January 15, 2020. It is compatible with all supported versions of Windows, and macOS...

Sadly no, it happened to me as well, but luckily I had a backup. Thus the reason I abandoned MS wallet. It is getting worse.

You can try some recovery software to see, if you can restore the older version of this file, but it is unlikely.
Code: 
%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Login Data

Wise Data Recovery - Freeware to Recover Deleted Files from FAT, exFAT, NTFS Disk.

Wise Data Recovery is a free data recovery tool, it helps you quickly recover deleted photos, documents, videos, email, etc. from local drives, external drive, USB drive, SD card, mobile phone and other removable devices. One of the best Windows un-deletion tools.

MS Authenticator is this stupid as well, it will sync the new app with zero data and it will remove the cloud save.

In Edge go to the 3 dots at the upper right, click Settings. Under Profiles/Microsoft Wallet click the Passwords link. This will list all of your saved passwords for web sites you saved your passwords for in Edge.

Unless you chose to Clear the Browsing History including passwords in Settings, or you Reset Edge.

If that happened after an update, it's possible that cache has been cleared during the update?
You should be taking down your passwords and not let your PC take care of it for you. It is safer and easier that way.

An Update will not clear the browser cache. You have to manually do that.
