If you wish, request help, by completing the Brave Rewards Support Ticket Form at:
‘https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360001302431’
Wallet Payment ID would be required in the ticket form and will be found at: brave://rewards-internals/
If you do not locate your Wallet Payment ID, then you might use the general support ticket form:
‘https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360001330571’
and make clear, at first, that you could not locate your Wallet Payment ID.

Be sure to routinely back up the BraveSoftware folder or Brave-Browser folder . . .
Linux OS:
$HOME/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/
Mac OS:
/Users/username/Library/Application Support/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/
Windows OS:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\

I recommend backup of the ‘Brave-Browser’ folder’s parent: BraveSoftware folder, for technical reasons, to also save other items, let us say, about the sub-folder.
Saving the parent folder, tends strongly to keep the Brave-Browser folder intact. And I would want that, especially in Windows OS situations.
Better chances when restoring, to drag-copy the Brave-Browser folder (or contents of interest therein) . . . that was/were saved within the backed-up BraveSoftware folder.
Using the Windows OS path for example:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\
. . . your vBAT and the security credentials for encrypting:
- Brave Rewards wallet (lower-case ‘w’ for unverified)
are in that path - within the Brave-Browser folder and its sub-folders.
At the least, consider the Brave-Browser folder as a real-life wallet that you would keep safe and take steps not to lose.

Re Passwords Backup
The security credentials of a previous OS installation, used for encrypting and decrypting the passwords of the username-and-password combinations stored by the Brave Browser > Password Manager, are NOT in the Paths mentioned.
Therefore, in order to preserve the passwords, some backup method needs to be employed, and that might be one or more of:
-
Brave Sync (PROBLEMATIC/UNCERTAIN)
-
Export passwords to .CSV file:
‘https://community.brave.com/search?q=passwords%20csv%20%40CerealLover%20order%3Alatest’ -
Third-party password manager such as 1Password, BitWarden, KeePASS, LastPASS (examples)
-
GoodSync backup software (example)
