Brave nightliy 1.66.62-Fedora 40 -dropping passwords

Hello,’
Fedora 40, brave nightly 1.66.62. Fist issue when upgrading is ALL of my saved passwords were gone. Fortunately I had backup, however, every couple of days brave drops passwords to various sites like gmail, including this site.
I have tried all I know to remedy this with no results.
Just realized ALL passwords have been dropped .

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

Expected result:

Brave Version( check About Brave):

Additional Information:

Same issue here and it is ridiculous. I would like to know if this is a brave issue or a fedora issue. Either way this needs fixed, and in my case, if this continues brave or fedora has to go.

@coz let me go with a few questions for you.

  1. Just to confirm, this is all passwords? So nothing visible in password manager?

  2. Have you made sure that Brave has access to your keyring/keychain? Essentially, Brave will not show passwords if it doesn’t have permissions. I’m not familiar enough with Liniux, but let me reference a different but similar topic as an example here below:

  1. I notice you mentioned this is happening on Nightly. Do you use Release and/or Beta as well? I’m curious if this issue is on all channels or only one.

  2. Have you checked brave://settings/clearBrowserData to make sure you don’t have it set to do anything like to delete passwords on exit?

  3. Which package did you install? What I mean is you have multiple methods to put Brave on your device per https://brave.com/linux/ and I want to know which you did.

Hello,
Yes! nothing visible in passwords

Okay. Well, I’ll be waiting to hear back on the other questions.
