@PeakMountain266,
This may be due to new macOS security implementations, requiring Brave to be explicitly allowed access to save storage in order to store and retrieve passwords/login data.
Can you both try the following and see if passwords are retained afterwards?
- Open
Keychain Access.app
- Search “Brave Safe Storage”
- Double-click the entry found, click on
Access Control
tab - Press the + button in the bottom-left corner, and find Brave Browser in your
/Applications
directory - Upon seeing Brave Browser added to the list, click
Save Changes
and enter your password - Re-launch Brave
