Case 1:
OS: OpenSUSE/Tumbleweed [64-bit] updated today
Brave: Version 1.51.110 Chromium: 113.0.5672.77 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Today, I updated Tumbleweed which included Brave 1.51.110. After a reboot, following the update, I found that all the saved passwords were missing from brave://settings/passwords.
No password manager extension was used.
I have never used the Sync feature.
On this PC, Brave is usually invoked from a script with the following command line arguments:
exec /usr/bin/brave-browser-stable --password-store=kwallet5 --process-per-site --profile-directory='Default' "$@"
I used the sqlitebrowser program to view ~/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Default/Login Data and I found that all of the missing password entries were still in the database.
Case 2:
OS: OpenSUSE/Tumbleweed [64-bit] updated today
Brave: Version 1.51.110 Chromium: 113.0.5672.77 (Official Build) (64-bit)
I tried the same update on a second PC. On this PC, rather than doing a reboot after the update, I logged out, logged in again, and then restarted Brave. As with Case 1, all saved passwords went missing from the password manager page.
No password manager extension was used.
I have never used the Sync feature.
On this PC, Brave is invoked with the following command line:
/usr/bin/brave-browser-stable
I used the sqlitebrowser program to view ~/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Default/Login Data and I found that all of the missing password entries were still in the database.
Also, before updating this PC, I exported the Brave saved passwords to a file as a precaution. Then, after confirming that the update lost all of the saved passwords, I used the exported file to successfully restore the passwords.
Thank you, I greatly appreciate your efforts to resolve this issue.
