Etherium Brave Wallet Address Changed

Description of the issue:
I was sending ~10$ eth to my brave wallet, as I set the gas fee low, it took about 2hours and thats fine cause i wasnt in a hurry
But after transaction being done, I saw that the wallet address has been changed! I really don’t know why should something like this happen. This is pretty weird and unacceptable.

Are you using the (new) Brave Wallet or the (old) Crypto wallets implementation? yes

How can this issue be reproduced?
No clue

Brave Version (check About Brave):

Version 1.37.109 Chromium: 100.0.4896.60 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Additional Information:

Probably, the question in the Report Template should be:

Are you using the (new) Brave Wallet, or are you using the (old) Crypto wallets implementation? (Which, are you using?)

Re your issue, it means that something altered your Brave Browser “Preferences” file, in the area where the wallet address is stored.

In order for you only, to view that area . . . in a Brave Browser New Window, enter Brave URL address:

brave://prefs-internals/

Search for character string:

contract_address

There are more than 1 such character strings, that you will find in succession. Some are associated with either a blank (no address) or obscure characters.

You will become familiar with how that area appears / should appear.

And, see what Brian said (below):

Your address cannot change, it is possible to have multiple accounts (addresses) though. Maybe in the wallet icon on the top right you selected a different account?
