Site settings cookie exception rules not honored

Manual cookie exceptions still seem to block cookies
I’m so tired of logging into these websites. I just want my LastPass extension and my AddToPocket bookmarklet to remember my logins. I’m pretty sure it’s a cookie exception problem. Except my browser is not set to clear cookies on exit, and I’ve set up all of the following rules in site settings:

chrome-extension
https://getpocket.com
getpocket.com
[*.]getpocket.com {embedded on app.getpocket.com}
https://lastpass.com
lastpass.com
[*.]lastpass.com {embedded on www.lastpass.com}
[*.]lastpass.com {embedded on lastpass.com}
logmeininc.com
logme.in
lastpass
logmein

Expected result: When I restart Brave, I should not be asked to log into any of the above domains, because I’m telling my browser in as many ways as possible to please allow their cookies

Brave Version: Version 1.8.96 Chromium: 81.0.4044.138 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Additional Information:
all entries that have wildcards are exceptions set via Brave Shields, because the text entry box to create your own rule does not allow square brackets or asterisks like Chrome’s does

@alterquin,
For LastPass, you must set the cookie exception in Shields.

  1. Visit LastPass.com and ensure you’re logged in
  2. Open Shields panel, change cookie control setting to Allow all cookies
  3. Login to your LastPass extension.

Hi @Mattches,

That was the second thing I tried, actually! That is in fact how I got these items onto the exceptions list I included in my post:

I’ve also attached a screenshot of my current (and prior!) Shields panel so you can be extra sure :slight_smile:

update! the LastPass login page – not the one that opens with a https://chrome-extension/ URL, but the one on the lastpass.com website, has Brave Shield settings that are independent from the lastpass.com site homepage (where I recently disabled the Shields completely), and the only thing Brave thinks is a tracker is probably actually the critical login cookie. I’m unblocking it now before I sign in again, and I’ll update here if that solves the LastPass issue :+1:

@alterquin,
Thank you for clarifying.
But when you open the browser, the extension is still logged out but when you visit lastpass.com, you’re still logged in – is that correct?

@alterquin,
Can you try clearing your cache/browsing data then trying again? Sometimes it can be useful to have a fresh slate.

Sure thing - and thanks for reopening this thread for me.

I tried clearing all-time history, cache/images, and cookies/data. Exit and restart Brave (for a truly fresh start), log in to LastPass (‘remember this computer for 30 days’, etc), exit and restart Brave (to test if login persists) and… nope, a new tab opened asking for my password again :weary:

I tested this (newly installed) lastpass extension. Had no login issues with the extension and within the browser site

and it persisted after restarting the program? I’ll try a fresh install of the extension and cross my fingers, thanks for the idea!

Yeah, just tested in standard and in private mode. Lastpass stayed logged in. Even after a browser restart.

@alterquin,
Have you tried adjusting the internal settings on the LastPass extension? There may be Settings you can adjust to have the extension stay logged in

I’ll double-check my internal LastPass settings, but it looks like trying a fresh installation of the extension did the trick! I even restarted my whole computer and it still saved my login :smiley: thank you so much, both of you!
