Also for @sampson and others, thought Iād share other more recent topics. There are some differences between them, so maybe not all the same, but similar nonetheless of people saying passwords and/or bookmarks are disappearing.:
Brave removed ALL my saved passwords
Saved passwords disappeared and password Manager won't save new ones
On that case, I suggest you try a new installation of those extensions on Brave to see if the colors are reset to normal.
I tried that once the extensions had disappeared and the colours were messed up
Guess got another one added today. Everything got reset except saved passwords and bookmarks on Windows update
@Mattches and @SaltyBanana Iām going to tag yāall too. I know Luke tagged in Sampson, but his last post was back in November. Not sure if he ever pays much attention to Community and if heās otherwise being made aware. At least, thatās assuming that heās the primary one that should be involved based on what Brendan was saying in Community Call when I brought up the idea of issue happening recently.

Hi folks - I know there hasnāt been an update here
We are collecting all known details about this issue and putting them here:
For people reading this thread - admin password change can cause this on Windows.
Another thing can be when you copy the profile directory from another machine.
Situations where the OSCrypt library generates a new key can cause the entries to seemingly disappear. Even if youāre on the same machine and do a backup/reformat your machine, itās going to create a new key. When you have the data which was encrypted with the old key, it canāt decode it
Can anyone having this issue confirm they:
- did not change passwords
AND - they did not copy the profile from another machine?
For macOS users, you are going to want to check if you have keychain access enabled for Brave. If that access was revoked, Brave canāt access the secret that it uses to encrypt/decrypt the entries
I didnāt change pwd (donāt have one) and didnāt manipulate my directories or files.
As far as I can remember, I used Brave in the morning without problem, let the pc running alone for some time (no sleep mode) and when I used. Brave again in the afternoon, credentials have desappeared
HTH
