NOTICE: Unexplained Data Loss Issue

you did it!

thank you konder1999

I’m using a MacBook Air (Sonoma 14.5) and noticed today that the “Passwords” page is now missing. I know my passwords are still there somewhere because Brave still offers the passwords in autofill situations.

This issue started sometime after August 2nd, 2024 and it wasn’t after a restart or a browser crash. My updates happen automatically so it may have happened after the latest update.

Current Brave version: 1.68.134 Chromium: 127.0.6533.88 (official build) (x86_64)

I do not have Histogram.

I just lost the “Passwords” page. Bookmarks and user history are still observable at this time.

I’m not using a password manager extension.

I’m not using Brave Sync.

I’m not using a separate/different browser profile than I normally do.

Profile hasn’t been changed.

Data wasn’t cleared.

Data isn’t set to clear on exit

No changes to my MacOS.

I didn’t change my system password.

Hope this can be fixed soon for Mac users.

…and they are gone again

linux mint did update brave, so i thought that would be the ticket
but alas, the ticket was back to where brave is broken and unrepairable

the good news is i have moved on to librewolf and have no issues with passwords, or massive amounts of ram being gobbled up by brave
no more laptop fans running continuously

i still like brave though

Hi folks,
Just a heads-up that the recent Password Manager-related issues have been identified, fixed, and uplifted to both 1.68.x and 1.69.x.
Depending on the release schedule, we may release the fix via Griffin, too, to get it to you guys ASAP.
Here’s some background regarding the issue.
