Browser deletes all my login's whenever I close it

For the last few weeks, anytime I fully close the Brave Browser, I am getting logged out of any sites that save my login information. Google, YT, Reddit, even this Brave Community site. I do not have anything selected for “Delete on exit” and also have 3rd party cookies allowed. In fact, I have made ZERO changes to my settings at all recently, but this just start to happen recently. I tried creating a new profile and even that is getting deleted when I close the Browser.

The only extension I am running is Bitwarden and I’ve had that installed for years.

This is by far my preferred browser, but I have tons of accounts and logins for various apps and having to constantly re-enter all this information, esp. with 2 factor-authentification is a really big pain.

I saw some other threads about this, but none of them seemed to offer a real solution.

Please help.

Sincerely,
Frustrated in Brave-ville.
