Description of the issue:
So I read that if I copy the appdata folder I safe everything stored in my browser so I did that. Now after reinstalling Windows everything is how it used to be EXCEPT my passwords are gone and when trying to manage sync I get this error:
Brave could not access your operating system’s safe storage. This is what’s used to secure data such as passwords and cookies; it’s also required for Brave Sync to connect your browser profile between devices. This means Brave Sync is not running. To resolve this issue, please see the [Brave Sync troubleshooting guide]
Also when I first started the browser it said that some settings could not be restored because they were corrupted by another program.
I really really need my passwords is there any way I am able to recover them?
Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. 2. 3.
I guess reinstalling windows
