My Google account keeps logging out every time I close my browser

When I first installed the browser on my PC, the same issue occurred—my Google account kept logging out every time I closed the browser. However, after a few days, the problem seemed to fix itself, so I continued using Brave for a while without issues. But later, the same problem suddenly started happening again. I’m not sure what’s causing it because it worked fine for a while and then started logging me out every time I closed the browser. It’s really frustrating because I have to log in every time. I’ve also attached a video showing the issue, along with my Windows version and Brave browser version. Please help me resolve this.

Brave Version-1.78.97
Windows Version - Windows 11 Pro, Version 24H2 (OS Build 26100.3915)

I can’t upload videos so please let me upload

My current understanding is, for Brave Browser to remember some settings ← they must be set while NOT using Private Browsing (ie: NOT using New Private Windows, NOT using Private Browsing Only mode). And thereafter, the Brave Browser user must NOT use Private Browsing.

IF a Brave Browser user chooses convenience over security and wants their website logins to stick, then the user must DISABLE settings that would cause Brave Browser to clear cookies, forget passwords, and forget some site data . . . when closing a window, a tab, and exiting/quitting the browser, etc:

In a Brave Browser New Window (not a “New Private Window”), go to the On exit tab at brave://settings/clearBrowserData

DISABLE: Cookies and other site data
DISABLE: Passwords and other sign-in data
DISABLE: Autofill form data

And check the other 2 tabs (Basic, Advanced) for those settings; also enabling the setting for time range: “All Time” . . . and clicking on the “Clear Data” / “Save” buttons.

Android settings:
-https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/360054509991-How-do-I-manage-Cookies-and-Site-data-in-Brave-on-Android

In a Brave Browser New Window, go to brave://settings/shields and:

  • DISABLE: Forget me when I close this site
    (Clears cookies and other site data when you close a site)
    (Some versions of the browser, may not have that setting.)

Also, I would NOT ENABLE any “remember where I left off” setting ← because such settings do not seem to work as a user may expect.

When adjusting settings for the mobile devices, being thorough means doing a complete, full exit / quit of the device ← following the instructions of the device manufacturers:

Android - closing apps:

Android - complete “forced” restart:

Apple iOS - iPhone - completely quit an app:

Apple iOS - iPhone - complete, “forced”, “hard” restart:

Try Settings → Shields → Content filtering → disable EasyList Cookie list.

Disabling that fixed my login issue with Facebook. My account info wasn’t saved for FB, no matter what I tried. I don’t know if it affects to your problem but it’s quick to try.

Hey!! Thanks,But it’s not working for me

Something like that happened to me but with Vivaldi, and it was because of the character ‘#’ in the path, namely the Folder #MyPortableapps. If I removed the # from that folders name, it remembered the google login status, if I put it back, it kept forgetting. I suppose it’s something about the google cookies not liking the # char in the path.

If you end the task of the Brave browser without directly closing it, your Google account usually remains logged in
