Description of the issue:
So this is after reinstalling BRAVE since something in my User Data Folder caused the app to not open no matter how many times I clicked on it.
Because I didn’t update my password csv file, I went ahead and tried to save or update all of my passwords but when I logged out of the sites and tried to log in again the auto fill password prompt didn’t appear. I checked the password manager in setting and it was empty, even when I put the password correctly on a site then sees it on password manager closing then reopening it just shows it empty again. Even manually placing the site and password in manager doesn’t work since after I exit manager, going back in just shows it empty again.
Also just want to mention that I haven’t touched any setting in passwords. I would also like to note that all of these issues (including Brave not opening) only started happening today as Brave was just fine the other day.
Steps to Reproduce
1.) Open any site I have a password in
2.) Enter the password to log in
3.) Save Password via the prompt
4.) Log out
5.) Try to log back by entering password
6.) See that the auto fill doesn’t work
7.) Check Password Manager
Actual Result
As shown by the Screenshot, Password Manager is completely empty and this is even if I use my old csv file
Expected result
Password Manager is empty and passwords aren’t saved
Reproduces how often
Every time I log out of any sites
Operating System and Brave Version
Windows 64-bit operating system, version 22H2, OS Build 19045.4651
Brave Version 1.68.128 Chromium: 127.0.6533.73 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Additional Information
Although saving passwords is an issue for me right now, I do stay logged in even after closing the tab, and reopening Brave.
Forgot to mention this, but since I reinstalled my Brave I had to copy/paste my old “Default” folder to the new Brave Folder in order to get all of my bookmarks, tabs, settings, etc. Not sure if this has anything to do with what’s happening, but I thought I should share this for transparency sake.
