Sites that use .htaccess to prompt for a name / password do not do so in Brave on iOS, unless Private Browsing is enabled. I’ve tested this across multiple sites, and the results are consistent - there is no prompt to authenticate under normal browsing (even with shields off), but private browsing triggers the prompt. The sites work normally in Chrome & Safari.
How can this issue be reproduced?
Browse to a site that uses .htaccess
Fail to get prompt, possibly notice failure results message depending on site
If private browsing is enabled, prompt appears
Expected result: Login / password prompt should appear.
It’s mostly been on either internal sites on my home network, or some external sites I would rather not post for security reasons - let me see if I can replicate it somewhere that is safe to post, and I will reply again.
Odd, I’m running Brave 1.20 on an iPad Pro. This is a new site I’ve never been to before in this browser. I just tried another site I know I had not used in Brave before, and had the same bug.
I’ve cleared all personal data and the issue persists. I also recently wiped and restored my iPad to clear an issue with another app - this issue persisted across the wipe.
This works as expected on my iPhone, just not on my iPad.
I can’t sync my Bookmarks, so I don’t want to delete the app yet - is there a way to export and re-import my bookmarks in iOS at this time, that isn’t Sync?
