When I went to input my Brave mobile passcode, I no longer can use the unique number I selected just for the browser. It looks like I’m forced to use the passcode for unlocking my phone, using my wallet and other highly private secure activities. Why would I share that info with some browser? Especially one that gave no notice of this significant change.
Am I totally locked out? Any way I can copy my bookmarks and open webpage links?

I’m paranoid about giving Apple access to parts of my iPhone I don’t voluntarily wish to shareAnd that they don’t explicitly “own”. So I’ve uninstalled the Brave iOS browser for now.
