Additional Information:
Basically . . .
Somewhere in your previous Windows OS installation, there was a key (possibly a digital certificate) locked away in a storage place (like a keyring, a keychain, a password manager or wallet).
Probably, when you would Log In to your older Windows OS installation, that key’s storage place would become accessible by Brave Browser.
That key would be used by Brave Browser, in order to encrypt the passwords of your username -and- password (“UnP”) combinations by which you would Sign In to websites.

I see so I have to find the key somehow or is it impossible? The thing is I can’t restore my session or tabs either, even though I have files that says session.
Ye I tried this but it didnt work.
Hi
Try this
- Open Chromepass from nirsoft
- Run as administrator
- Click on File, Advanced then Paste location of default folder as in image
- Click OK; Do you see your passwords? If not, file may be corrupt.
If you see them:
- CTRL+A
- Paste in EXCEL
- Delete the columns not needed and leave only name,url,username,password
- Save as *.CSV
