Why do you think it's a good idea to expire sync?

Browser Support Sync

#1

Description of the issue: sorry, your sync code has expired. Please generate a new one using the device you don’t have with the browser you uninstalled.

Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. 2. 3.

Uninstall brave for a couple days
Try to use sync code

Reproduces how often: always

Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu): last 5+ versions

Type of devices currently running on the Sync chain in question: all

Additional Information: please stop this I’ve literally lost all my synced data about three times now

#2

If it’s not meant to be a sync DON’T CALL IT SYNC. It’s not sync if it doesn’t actually remember it somewhere.

#3

This is seriously so annoying that I ABSOLUTELY AM NOW REQUIRED to keep a brave install somewhere or lose EVERYTHING

#4

Is your current phrase 24 words?
Also if it’s a 25 word one, tell me what the last word is. Reason being that the 25th word changes daily so if you have a word which was for yesterday or anytime before today this will give the error.

#5

So sync’s utterly useless then. Because the last time I used brave was about two weeks ago.

#6

The 25th word is same for everyone and can be tracked at

#7

Gonna mark this as a solution because it technically solved my problem but it still doesn’t resolve them calling it sync when it’s nothing like that - half of settings or more don’t sync and apparently now they’ve decided to neuter it farther by making it useless if you reinstall brave.

#8

You’ve gotta choose what data you want to be synced.

I know
But one device is windows, one is android, and settings don’t sync from Android pretty much at all, while the windows ones partially sync
