As I use Bitwarden for password management I turned off “offer to save passwords” in the Brave settings. The next day, this setting turns itself back on and Brave offers to save passwords again. This has been constant for the past 3 months.
I have tried:
rebooting Mac OS
Closing & restarting Brave Browser
resetting Brave to default
uninstalling & reinstalling Brave
Note … I have Brave installed on another Mac and it doesn’t have this issue
How can this issue be reproduced?
Every day I turn off this setting only to find it re-enabled again.
@tardis3,
Thank you for reaching out. I’m wondering if you have any other extensions installed in the browser at this time? Additionally, if you go to brave://settings/clearBrowserData and go to the On exit tab – do you see any items on this list checked?
@tardis3,
Lets try manually granting Brave access to your macOS keychain in case for some reason it was never granted or accidentally revoked on your macOS:
Open Keychain Access
Search Brave Safe Storage
Double-click the entry found, click on Access Control tab
Press the + button in the bottom-left corner, and find Brave Browser in your /Applications directory
Upon seeing Brave Browser added to the list, click Save Changes and enter your password 6. Re-launch Brave
@tardis3,
Apologies for the late reply. I’m curious, when you added the browser to the keychain manually, did you by chance see two instances of Brave listed here (after adding yours)? Or just the one you added?
