Asked to re-login to every site after installation of every Brave release

I use Brave on multiple devices (3 Windows machines, 1 Android device). On one Windows pc, I have to re-login to every single site whenever a new release of Brave has been installed. I don’t have this on the other devices.

I am not able to reproduce this issue. It just happens after the automatic installation of a new release.

As on my other devices, I’d expect that I’d be logged in automatically to these sites (webmail, OneDrive, Google/YouTube, Spotify, wiki, …), even after an update. Luckily, the saved usernames and passwords are still present in the browser.

Current Brave version: 1.73.105

UPDATE 27/02/2025
Since this issue was closed after a month, I give my update here. I was able to force this situation by closing and opening Brave running in the background (tray icon).

Afterwards, I (stopped the syncing) and uninstalled Brave (profile was deleted automatically with the uninstall), then re-installed it and restarted the sync chain. I was then on version 1.75.178. I am now on version 1.75.181 and everything seems to work all right now.

It seems like a known issue where Brave requires re-login after updates. This might be due to a bug or a profile-specific problem. Try checking if you’re using the same profile across devices, and ensure no extensions are interfering.
