So, I accidently had Brave open when I made a backup of my AppData folder for Brave to reinstall Windows.
I don’t have a sync code.
Anyway to restore my passwords?

This does not work because the data was encrypted.
When I wanted to look at a password, I would have to put in my Windows Hello PIN.
Chromepass sees the file as empty.
When using the DB Browser for SQLite, all the password_values are “BLOB” and i have no clue what to do with that.
Please help. There are literally 516 lines of passwords I need from this.
Looks like I’m screwed because it’s a fresh install of Windows.
Environment variables don’t match, so it can’t decrypt the passwords.
Every password is empty.
Sigh…thanks for trying to help.

Re Passwords Backup
The security credentials of a previous OS installation, used for encrypting and decrypting the passwords of the username-and-password combinations stored by the Brave Browser > Password Manager, are NOT in the Paths mentioned.
Therefore, in order to preserve the passwords, some backup method needs to be employed, and that might be one or more of:
Brave Sync (PROBLEMATIC/UNCERTAIN)
Export passwords to .CSV file:

Third-party password manager such as 1Password, BitWarden, KeePASS, LastPASS (examples)
GoodSync backup software (example)
