Description of the issue:
My password manager lost all login info and passwords, i suspect the issue is because i changed my Laptops Username(The actual name of the user in the file system), i was able to fix the issue for my other apps by simply updating the path from the environmental variables.
Is there any way, i can do that for Brave-Browser? or are there any proposed solutions?
Yes i am thinking of redoing the Brave Sync as a last resort, but i know there is a much easier solution
**Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): **
- Change the username of your PC via netplwiz and from the registry editor.#
- Create(If you don’t have one) and sign in into Your Admin account
- Rename new username to updated one and remove the empty but new user
- Update the (Environmental variables) path for other apps from C:\Users\Generic to C:\Users\Itsamie.
- Brave is still pointing to C:\Users\Generic
Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):
Expected result:
I just want to point brave to new path or migrate data to where ever brave is pointing to.
