How to recover passwords?

The important parent folder is “BraveSoftware”. Often, I back up that folder, first, by .zip compression, and second, saving that resulting .zip file on an external drive - so it can be found “when all else fails!”


On your Mac:

/Users/user_shortname/Library/Application Support/BraveSoftware/

Wandering around in the sub-folders:

/Users/user_shortname/Library/Application Support/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Default/Bookmarks


On your Windows OS PC:

C:\Users[username]\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware\

Wandering around in the sub-folders:

C:\Users[username]\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\User Data\Default\Bookmarks

C:\Users[username]\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\User Data\Default\Bookmarks.bak


The bookmarks files that you are looking for, are those “Bookmarks”.
