Changed location, passwords are gone

Sup ! In short, I changed the location of the Program Files Folders earlier today because Discord didn’t have enough space in that drive to update, and didn’t even know that I could do that, but I was happy as I was constantly running out of space on it. A bit ago when I open up my PC again, I try to open Brave through the shortcut, it says the location doesn’t exist or something, but I didn’t think much of it, as I just used Win+R and ran Brave.exe, making a new shortcut, but trying to log onto google, it doesn’t autofill, and I find out all of my saved passwords are gone. Any chance to get the original file and get it working ? Any ideas ? Please help…

Thank you !

@plictis thanks for writing in, can you confirm your Brave version?

Yes, of course. It is v1.79.118

Take a look at how another member of Brave Community, recently recovered passwords::

‘NOTICE: Unexplained Data Loss Issue - #175 by Lyte’

Also, study the general idea:

‘Brave passwords disappeared after computer crash, and force-restart - #2 by 289wk’

Also, a Chromium issue to read up on - though not your immediate concern:

‘All passwords are gone in Password manager - #3 by steeven’
