The mobile password Manager in Android 12 closes automatically when attempting to open it. Something is broken it worked in regular chrome but not in brave.

Can you go in about section of brave browser and paste the browser version?

@Prestrump2024,
Additionally, to clarify, you’re referring to the built-in password manager that comes with the Android 12 OS?

It’s built into the brave browser on Android

If i click to view or edit a password the app closes the page and goes back to the website I was on previously.
