I just updated Brave to the latest version this morning and saving log-on passwords to URLs no longer works
@ptipon,
Are you on a macOS system?
Yes. I am on a desktop Mac, 10.15.7
ps: It also did away with the 2 to 3doz of passwords I had stored for instant logon
pps: Also when I go to Settings and then to Additional settings and then to Privacy & Security and then to Passwords nothing shows up and I also can’t search for anything saved or not saved.
@ptipon,
I’m wondering if this is the reason your passwords aren’t saving:
Interesting. I noticed that was new and always never dip into anything that wants more of ‘my’ data. Any more info on this and what it is supposed to be enhancing? Until I know more I’m just not going to enable it just to see what happens.
Source for the Technical summary below, please.
@ptipon,
@sampson seems to have cited the summary with links for the relevant Apple and Chromium code the changes concern.
Sampson had the answer for a fix. I read the Brave Safe Storage link and implemented it. It was a real mess getting back to before the update because I had tried several fixes by changing passwords on several URLs and also changed some settings.
One unexpected problem was that I lost some unsaved emails in my inbox but that was the only non repairable result
