Hi :slightly_smiling_face:

Is this still occurring? Current Nightly version is 1.44.40 and I do not have a problem accessing brave://settings/passwords. Just wondering if the latest version fixed your issue.

I’ve been having a lot of problems with Brave Browser Nightly edition I’m actually considering changing mode after three years of mostly contented use. I’m pretty ticked off now it’s one thing after another after another after another going wrong together create a huge barrier in the progress of my work so I have to develop workarounds that always take longer than the procedures I had set up. I suppose things breaking is a fact of life and when you sign up for the nightly addition there is an increased risk so maybe I’ll just stop using the nightly addition to any problems

I actually have all three versions. I probably like Beta the best but I mostly use the Release unless there is a feature that I particularly like that is not available yet in Release. It sounds like you may be happier using a more stable version than Nightly. Is there a particular reason you use Nightly over the more stable releases?

There was an issue report that I think is related to your problem. It is closed and released in Nightly 1.44.x.

If you are still experiencing a problem, you may want to tag a moderator for help.
