Hello @stephenboston, thank you for reaching us out. By any chance did you clear your cookies and cache recently? Maybe logins and password were deleted accidentally selecting passwords and other sign in data or the option autofill form data while deleting browsing data.
Please check under the password manager to see if your logins/passwords are still there: brave://settings/autofill and the options Offer to save passwords and Auto Sign-in are enabled. Hope this helps. Regards.
Leaving everything else aside, youâre using an old version of Brave and should get it up to the latest. The most recent version of Brave for Desktop is 1.47.171. Any reason why youâre not keeping the browser updated?
Thatâs what youâre having to watch and tell us. Nobody here is a mind reader or able to see into the past. We can only help based on what information you provide. Does it log you out as soon as you leave the site? Does it do it when you close the window? What exactly is happening when youâre saying issue with login happens?
I have never see this happen in Brave. Cookies eventually expire and sites will occasionally make you log in again. Brave can remember the passwords for you but it still requires you to click and choose login and to then log in. Never once has it just âautomatically logged inâ when I visit a page that didnât just keep me logged in from a remaining cookie.
In other words, itâs only kept people logged into sites. It didnât automatically login the user.
Doesnât sound like it, or youâd get a notification about it.
Btw, back onto this part, are you saying nothing is listed if you go to settings â autofill â password manager (or direct link is brave://settings/passwords)? Or are you just referring to the idea of how it isnât just automatically signing you into websites without your input?
Youâre coming across as aggressive. You sound defensive
To be clear : I am not questioning the stability or safety of the browser. Not at all.
I have been using Brave for many years, since its first release, and have seen this happen occasionally. Iâm wondering if the Brave Community â which shows that this has happened to other people often enough to make me wonder if there is any accepted explanation.
As for mind reading? I suggest youâre doing too much of that.
I answered questions and pointed out difficulty of being able to assist on the little info you gave.
For example, you didnât mention if you had just added anything to your device or even done something like clear cookies when this happened. Whether youâre using extensions. All sorts of information missing. So when youâre asking what conditions can make your situation happen, itâs an open ended question that has no reasonable answer with the limited info you provided.
Nothing I said had anything to do with that. I asked for more information to try to get a better understanding of whatâs going on and to try to assist. I also then tried to address phrasing to make sure I can understand what youâre saying correctly.
Helps if you link to any references. Did they ever get a solution or figure out what caused the problem for those cases youâre saying that have existed?
iâm having the exact same probleme all my login info dissapeared and i canât find it anymore. i tried switching profil, changing profil path, but i lost every password i had in the password managerâŚ
iâm on the last version of brave and been using it for 4 good years nowâŚ
Hope i can get them back and we can find a fix.
I hadnât cleared any cached data. The only system event was a restart.
Now on another of my computers, the same thing happened after an update to brave. All other associated data was retained: bookmarks, addresses and so on.
After looking more into it I think what happened is that brave logged me out of all logins.
Other people are seeing the same thing so Iâm going to write it off as a one-off fluke.
Hello again @stephenboston, please try checking if the option clear data on exit is not enabled under brave://history/ > clear browsing data > on exit If so, disable it and let us know if that resolves the issue. Regards.
If itâs okay Iâd like to jump straight into the main issue here. @stephenboston, can you please confirm that if you go to Settings â> Autofill --> Passwords, all of this data is gone? Or are you simply saying that you are not signed into certain sites anymore, and have to re-enter your credentials?
Additionally, I would highly recommend updating your browser to the latest build (v1.47.171 at the time of writing this).
Donât take it so serious. Maybe you got it too personal, I understand that, but what @Saoiray pointed out are legitim points and questions.
You are right that passwords have been disappearing recently. I have seen it myself. And there are other reports in this community.
But it is also a fact that you are using a release that is almost 1 year old. This was the very first point @Saoiray mentioned. You cannot expect stability when you do not care about your own software.
So, letâs stop the fight. We are all together in this. And we all expect things to get better.
They look like questions to me. I donât see where he ever insulted you or spoke down to you either.
Saoiray has helped a lot of people. Sometimes he doesnât phrase things as well as he should, but always been helpful. Nothing said should have gotten the response it did and I feel bad for him for the attitude that was given.
I find this very interesting as I know that he helped solve another issue for you in the past.
How you read text says a lot about yourself. If you read everything in a calm and friendly way, thatâs how it comes across. You, the reader, are the one who determines the tone. Not sure what youâre dealing with in life, but hopefully you can find some peace and happiness soon.
Glad to hear you responded to say no issue on other browsers and youâre considering this a fluke.
Also should note that Saoiray is active on Reddit and other places for support as well.
Hi there, i had encouter the same problem today. Brave version 1.47.186
After a sudden crash while using brave, it seems like all stored data, autofill/login data/cache on wesbite such as facebook⌠are all gone.
And found out that the brave reward also turns to âUnavailable in your regionâ which was still work before the crash. The setting like dark mode and other setting are also return to default but some of them still remain which is weird.
The browsing history still exist as before, and the profile switching icon at the same line of link address/extension are also gone but it can still be found in setting.
Yup, same thing here. It happened once a few weeks ago and I just tossed it off, but it just happened again. Did not clear cookies or change anything in that regard. I can see all my saved logins in my settings, and offer to save/use auto login are on. Brave v1.48.167 Win 10.
