Description of the issue:
How can this issue be reproduced?
- New Brave sync code is expired
- Anyone re-installing Windows OS on the same PC faces the same problem
- Anyone purchasing a new PC faces the same problem
Expected result:
Not being allowed to sync data on every device
Brave Version( check About Brave
):
Version 1.64.113 Chromium: 123.0.6312.86 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Additional Information:
Web browsers like Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Vivaldi have allowed their end-users to do the easy log-in after the successful creation of a user profile; therefore, end-users will not lose the already saved credentials / bookmarks / settings when they re-install any of those browsers on the same PC or on any newly bought PC. However, Brave browser does not allow the creation of such a user profile and it is allowed only in Brave Community for getting support which satisfies purposes other than syncing data on all devices.
By the way, after re-installing Microsoft Windows 11 Home OS on my same PC I was surprised when I tried to sync my data on the same PC by means of the old / today issued Brave sync code but I got an error message saying " the sync code is expired". Later, I read the FAQ section where I understood Brave has abandoned sync code but I do not understand it why Brave has not removed such a selection yet!
Is there any way for me to re-gain my data via sync feature?
