Nightly forgets logins after close & restart

After update to Version 1.78.58 every time I close Nightly & launch it again, I have to log back in to every single site and service again, which is simply unacceptable.

Description of the issue:
How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. I close Nightly The Right Way by clicking “Close” in the menu
  2. I launch Nightly
  3. I have to log back in EVERYWHERE (Uphold stays connected), and I do mean the word “everywhere” literally, every single website I am logged in on in this browser, I need to log back in after closing Nightly & launching it again.

Expected result:
Nightly should remember the logins like it has done for years

Brave Version( check About Brave):
Versio 1.78.58 Chromium: 135.0.7049.26 (Virallinen koontiversio) nightly (64-bittinen)
Additional Information:

  1. this does not affect Stable release ( Versio 1.76.81 Chromium: 134.0.6998.166 (Virallinen koontiversio) (64-bittinen))
  2. I have checked my settings, I do NOT have set the browser to delete cookies etc. on closing, the cookies that were there before the update are still there, I checked.

I don’t use Sync

Just confirming, you have the following setting on brave://settings?

yes, I probably would have said something if my tabs were gone as well.

I’m also having this problem. I use brave, nightly and beta, all 3 versions. I have the same settings on each version. Only the nightly version keeps logging me out. This is very irritating.

I checked the “Related” -tab below to check one more time if others have reported the same issue & looks like there is another thread, someone posted this workaround there (looks like it only solves google logins which is insufficient for me, but partial fix is still a fix) : https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/44789

https://github.com/brave/brave-core/pull/28329 should fix things for Brave Nightly on Linux, please wait for 1.79.1 which should be out tomorrow.
