Brave deleted all passwords and bookmarks

Hi team,

I have a few profiles which were connected to each other via sync chain withs ynced passwords and bookmarks, I deleted the Main profile by accident and noticed they are gone. I tried system recovery but do not have a restore point further back than yesterday evening. I have no Default folder ion the Brave-Software folder. I didn’t know the passwords and bookmarks were tied to the original profile. Please help :frowning:

Description of the issue:
How can this issue be reproduced?

Expected result:

Brave Version( check About Brave):
1.67.134
Additional Information:

I entered last profile and passwords were there for a second and then they immediately disappeared and got replaced with 2 new ones.

Also everything weas deleted from my iPhone and iPad in sync chain but extensions everywhere stayed intact

I would like someone to reply asap, why does it work in a way that when I delete the Main profile in the sync chain it deletes the password instead of syncing to all other devices? Surely it shouldn’t work like that? Now everything I had bookmarks and passwords from many years back are gone

@ffd311c19f6ffd20f27a,
When you say you deleted your main profile, what steps did you do exactly? And are you referring to the profile itself or are you referring to removing the device from the Sync chain?

Hi! Thank you for your answer. I deleted my main profile from the profile selector within Brave only and I left it in the sync chain.

@ffd311c19f6ffd20f27a,
I see. I do apologize but unfortunately this is the way the browser behaves at this time. Note that we do have an open issue to change this behavior:

I’ve added your report to the issue as well. Apologies for any inconvenience.

I am devastated right now
