How to fix Remember Me not working when logging into sites

Description of the issue:
Websites never remember “Remember me” or “trust this device”

Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. 2. 3.

  1. Login in to website and check box to remember me and/or trust this device
  2. Next visit to site requires login and/or 2FA

Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):
Sites consistently ask for 2FA and do not remain logged in

Expected result:
Sites do not ask for 2FA once trust this device is checked and remain logged in when “remember me” is checked

Reproduces how often:
Always
Operating System and Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu):
Windows 11
Version 1.73.91 Chromium: 131.0.6778.85 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Additional Information:
I have read similar threads but they are either outdated or do not work

his issue might be tied to cookie settings or site behavior. Ensure Brave allows cookies, avoids auto-clearing data on exit, and isn’t in private mode. Check Sync settings as they might interfere, and note some sites enforce 2FA despite “Remember Me.” If unresolved, report it to Brave Support!

Hello @scottodono,
It sounds like you’re experiencing persistent issues with websites not remembering your login or 2FA settings. Here are some steps to troubleshoot:

  1. Clear Browser Cache and Cookies: Corrupt cache or cookies can cause this issue.
  2. Disable Ad Blockers: Ad blockers might interfere with login settings.
  3. Check Browser Settings: Ensure settings like “Remember Me” and “Trust This Device” are enabled.
  4. Try Another Browser: Sometimes switching browsers can resolve the issue.

If the problem persists, consider reaching out to the website’s support team for further assistance.

Best Regards,
James Goff

Do I need to allow third party cookies?

@scottodono,
That may be the case, yes. If you are currently blocking all cookies, this definitely will not work afaik. I would first try setting the cookies protection in Shields to Block third party cookies. If you are still seeing the issue, try allowing all cookies and test again to see if you are still logged out.
