Passwords disappeared - NO I DIDNT CHANGE/ERASE/ETC ANYTHING

Using the latest version of brave, I did not clear cookies/cache and am absolutely sure I did not delete the passwords and other sign-in data There is no longer anything present in saved passwords. Is there any possible way to recover these or no?

All I’m looking for is a **simple yes or no, and if yes, what specific file in what specific location am I looking for to try and attempt recovery. **

  • Have you read other threads on this topic to try and find a solution?: Yes, there’s a plethora of them and most all of them end with OP getting nothing resolved and many times not even a response from staff.
  • Are you sure you didn’t check the box?: Yes
  • Did you sync or backup the passwords?: No, I never intended to clear them.
  • Any questions to do with bookmarks: This has nothing to do with bookmarks, they are still there and yes, I’ve taken a look at the Bookmarks and Bookmarks.bak files, they’re just full of JSON formatted data containing my bookmark info. I’m not sure why so many posters in threads regarding this topic insist on mentioning backing up bookmarks/checking out these files when that has nothing to do with the issue.

I DID NOTHING WRONG, LITERALLY AND OBJECTIVELY THE PASSWORDS WERE THERE AND THEN THE NEXT TIME I OPENED THE BROWSER, WITHOUT DELETING CHANGING OR OPENING/CLOSING ANYTHING ELSE, THE PASSWORDS WERE ALL GONE.

I do not need developers are looking into this, I do not need your guesses of what I did SPOILER:STILL NOTHING

I NEED A FIX. I NEED SOMEWHERE TO CLICK THAT WILL 100% COMPLETELY RESTORE ALL LOST PASSWORDS.

Thank you.** I will post this and bump threads every day and if it closes will post the same thread verbatim until I get an answer.**

Thanks in advance!

Perhaps your system has created a backup version of your profile folder and its contents. Once you find the proper file that contains your password information, it might be as easy as right clicking, selecting properties, and then restoring a previous version of the file. Hope this helps.
Good luck, and I can see you are in dire straits. ::wave: :smile_cat:
