Iâm using a MacBook Air (Sonoma 14.5) and noticed today that the âPasswordsâ 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 wasnât 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 âPasswordsâ page. Bookmarks and user history are still observable at this time.
Iâm not using a password manager extension.
Iâm not using Brave Sync.
Iâm not using a separate/different browser profile than I normally do.
Profile hasnât been changed.
Data wasnât cleared.
Data isnât set to clear on exit
No changes to my MacOS.
I didnât change my system password.
Hope this can be fixed soon for Mac users.
âŚand 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.
Hereâs some background regarding the issue.
Brave Version 1.69.168 Chromium: 128.0.6613.138 (Official Build) (64-bit)
OS Version Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS
Yep. Trying to manage my passwords in Brave is a nightmareâŚ
This is still a problem with 1.69 on Slackware Linux.
Yesterday everything had got logged out again and passwords forgotten. I logged back into a couple of sites and today they have been logged out again.
It usually lasts longer than 1 day though, so it seems like the cause is completely random.
I just had this problem for the first time.
Iâm using Windows 10
Brave Version v1.70.126
The browser crashed, and I lost the log in information and passwords when Brave restarted. I donât remember if I did the update right before, but I donât think so. The passwords seem to be in the Login Data file.
I canât see the most recent crash on brave://crashes, so I donât have the crash ID. I remember choosing no for something about crash reports when I launched the browser before I was aware of the lost data problem, so that might have something to do with this.
I still have the bookmarks and history, itâs just the websites I was logged out of and the saved passwords.
I am not using a password manager extension.
I am not using sync or other profiles.
I downloaded the histograms and can send them.
I need some passwords back urgently and tried the chrome://flags/#clear-undecryptable-passwords fix but it didnât work. I also tried installing various other browsers and importing data from Brave to access the passwords but that hasnât worked either.
I would appreciate any suggestions to recover the passwords somehow other than these two solutions that havenât worked for me.
I relaunched Brave this morning (from searchbar) after having shut down my system the previous night. Upon relaunch Brave had a popup saying it hadnât shut down properly. From there, I agreed to send diagnostics, and clicked restore pages. Then I found that Iâd been signed out of everything and Passwords were gone.
Brave is up to date

I donât have/use separate browser profiles and am not currently in one,
I havenât cleared browsing data,
I havenât changed system passwords
I donât think it was a crash, and brave://crashes says the last crash happened in september.
No I was not using any password manager other than the one built into Brave
No I do not use Brave Sync
Additionally, I have checked Login data
with a DB viewer and all data appears to be present. I also have a histogram I can share.
I will say, I wasnât able to see any of the passwords in the password_notes
section of database, but login info were all present under logins
.
I tried working through a few of the workarounds mentioned in this thread, but they have not brought back the lost passwords. When I booted up Brave this morning, I re-signed into a few services (just email) and Iâd saved those passwords again and they appear to have stayed even with restarting the browser, as in password manager seems to work fine with any new entries. Theyâve also been added to the Login data
file, but password manager doesnât seem to register any of the other entries in there. When importing to firefox, only the new entries from this morning were moved.
Any help either resolving this issue or being able to view the passwords in database would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I had a similar problem, and I couldnât find a solution, I had reset my PC due to a problem but kept the windows.old so when I made a fresh Brave install and copied the Default folder to my surprise everything worked besides the passwords, I tried everything in this post but it didnât work, so my last attempt was to go to Settings
> Reset Settings
and clear it, I then went to copy the password files again and this time I went to User Data
copied the old âLocal Stateâ and made a backup of this new one and replaced the new Local State
with the old one, I started Brave again and voila the passwords showed up.
I made an account to reply here for anyone who may still have this problem.
In conclusion replace the new Local State
in User Data
with the old one and copy the password files to the new User Data/Default
folder.
