I have been using Brave for a while now in a sort of testing mode. I have saved a few login credentials for non-critical sites. Here are my concerns:
Under Settings…passwords I have “Offer to save passwords” enabled and “Auto Sign-in” enabled. Under the heading “Saved Passwords” I am told “Saved passwords will appear here.” NOTHING does, not even the sites for which I have saved credentials.
Under the heading “Never Saved” I am told “Sites which never save passwords will appear here.” I just went to a site, entered my credentials and told Brave never to save the password. I went back to the site and Brave did NOT auto fill offer to save the password. At least this part works.
Still, for saved passwords I cannot see them, modify them, export them etc. For some sites I will tell Brave to save the password and yet the next time I access that site the credentials seem not to have been saved. Am I missing something?
Hi @taylorkh,
What OS are you on? And what version of Brave are you on?
If you quit and restart Brave, then go to brave://settings/passwords, do you see any passwords on the list?
1 - copied my profile ~/.config/Brave-Browser to a safe place
2 - sudo apt-get autoremove brave-browser -y
3 - whacked the profile directory and its contents
4 - sudo apt-get install brave-browser -y
5 - launched the newly installed browser
6 - went to a site where I have an account, did the login thing and accepted the offer to save the credentials
7 - navigated to settings…passwords
There I found the login name and … for the password. Clicking on the eyeball icon displayed the password (would be nice to be able to set a master password as in Firefox…)
8 - went to another web site, did the login thing and said NEVER save credentials
9 - back to settings…passwords the new site is now listed under Never Saved as expected
10 - renamed the new profile directory and copied back my old “production” profile
11 - Saved Passwords are again NOT displayed.
From this I would conclude that my profile is hosed in some way. I did a Restore settings process but that did not help. I have a few bookmarks which I need to keep. If I can figure out how to export them and import them into the new profile I think I would be good to go. I have only a handful of passwords saved and will re-enter them as I go forward. At least that is the plan.
Thanks again for your assistance,
Ken
p.s. I suspect you can clue me in as to how to export/save and retrieve bookmarks?
