So I recently recovery reset (deleted all personal files) my computer for another issue I was having and ever since then none of my login information saves. Before the reset I never had any problem with Brave and all of my information would save without problems. After the reset and reinstalling it makes me sign into everything all over again. Every time i close out of my tabs. Ex. Opening Youtube or gmail will make me sign into my google account everytime i close out.
This is likely related to this open issue that the team is investigating presently:

### Description
Starting ~3mo ago or so, several users have reported that they … are being logged out of websites when they close/relaunch the browser. Most of these users have confirmed that they do not have the `Forget me when I close this site` Shields protection enabled, nor do they have data set to be clear "on exit".
While it _might_ be related to extensions and/or individual profile setups, it seems unlikely that all of the users reporting this have the same extensions and/or setups, or if they do have similar setups, the common thread is likely a setting in Brave itself, pointing to it potentially being a bug/issue in the browser.
Some users have reported that the following ["solution"/"workaround" resolves the issue](https://community.brave.com/t/brave-keeps-logging-me-out-of-google/599655/5?u=mattches), but users should not have to take these steps to simply stay logged into websites when they close/relaunch the browser:
> 1. In a Brave Browser New Window go to `brave://settings/content/javascript`
> 2. Scroll down that javascript settings page to Allowed to use javascript
> 3. Click the `Add` button
> 4. Enter `[*.]google.com` as the site . . . but do not enable `Current Private session only`
> 5. Click the `Add` button
> 6. Repeat those steps for:
> ```
> [*.]firebaseapp.com
> [*.]gmail.com
> [*.]googleapis.com
> [*.]googleusercontent.com
> [*.]gstatic.com
> [*.]youtube.com
> ```
Users have reported this issue occurring on Windows, macOS and Linux systems. Most of these reports are specific to sites that use Google accounts/auth logins, but some users report this occurring for other sites as well.
### Steps to reproduce
N/A
### Actual result
Users keep getting logged out of sites when closing/relaunching the browser
### Expected result
