Why can't I sync my Desktop brave browser to my phone brave browser?

[feraltamer]

I have tried to sync the brave browser on my Mac desktop to my android phone. It says to open the browser set up on my phone. Did you know there’s no such thing? Now, how do I sync my phone to my computer. THIS TIME ANSWER THE QUESTION. I’ve asked twice before, still no response.

N. I’ve asked twice before, still no response.

@feraltamer you have been answered before but you chose not to respond. For example:

Neither of my phones has a way to Brave Settings

Won’t Sync. Directions say to find Brave settings on my Mobile. Neither phone has a way to Brave settings. There is NO WAY to sync to either of my phones. I can scan the QR code all I want. It goes nowhere. THIS TIME, ANSWER THE QUESTION. How do I get to Brave Settings on a mobile? Why do you have a tag listed that I can’t use?

Neither of my phones has a way to Brave Settings

Hello, To access Brave Browser settings on your mobile device, open the Brave app and tap the menu icon (usually three dots or lines) in the top-right or bottom-right corner. Look for “Settings” or a gear icon, then find and tap on “Sync” or “Brave Sync” to manage synchronization settings. If you encounter issues with QR code syncing, ensure both devices are connected to the internet and retry the process after accessing the Sync settings. For further assistance, consider checking Brave Browser…

Can you actually read responses and make attempts at doing what’s instructed? Then perhaps reply with feedback? At this point in time it seems you have only posted to complain and then you tend to vanish.

I don’t have 3 dots. I already explained. Your instructions aren’t useable

Okay, FINALLY found what you were talking about. WHY DO I NEED A SECOND PHONE TO DO THIS? Scanned on my phone. Didn’t sync. No, I won’t buy a second phone for this sync. Why do I need one? Affordable connectivity is gone, and I don’t have money for a second phone. Get real.

[feraltamer]

I’m here. Trying what you say. I was TRYING to sync passwords, but you say I have to have a screen lock to do that. Shouldn’t that be MY decision?

[feraltamer]

FYI, never got a notification of an answer. Third time today, someone jerked me around. “We’ll let you know!” No, you didn’t. The screen lock should be my decision. How do I bypass that?

[feraltamer]

Ummm… response? Know how I can’t have my attention here while I’m figuring out your instructions? Hello?

@feraltamer,
We have a Help Center article that goes over this:

How do I set up Sync?

You’ll want the Mobile --> Desktop instructions.

You do not need a second phone. Instead, simply click on where it says Code words and use those words to Sync to your macOS device.

At this time, a password or screen lock is required in order to Sync your data. This is a security measure that is put in place so that bad actors cannot view your passwords. Passwords are encrypted by the Operating System password being used — in your case, it would be your Android device’s screen lock. If you do not have a screen lock then the browser cannot en/decrypt your passwords.

Hope this helps.

Who do you think you are? Demanding solutions without proper manners on a FREE product. Learn to be polite.

Also, there are a lot of others browsers if you do not feel comfortable using Brave. Nobody is forcing you to stay with something that you apparently do not like since 2021.
