I’m not sure I have enough details yet to give you a clear answer. For example, in the tags you listed multiple operating systems, and when asked for the specific version of Brave, you put “latest” instead of the exact version number. Having that info would really help narrow things down.

From what I can tell, passwords would only disappear under a few conditions:

  1. They were deleted (manually or unintentionally).
  2. Some other app or program removed them.
  3. Something on your OS crashed or became corrupted, which broke the encryption key. In that case, the passwords are still there but can’t be accessed.

None of these situations point to Brave itself deleting passwords. They’re usually tied to user actions, conflicts with other programs, or an issue with the operating system’s keychain/keyring. You can read more about how that works here: https://support.brave.app/hc/en-us/articles/29808985123085-Sensitive-data-storage

Since you mentioned this has happened before, it may be worth thinking about backups and whether you’re using sync. Those are the best safeguards against losing data if something goes wrong again.

As for making sure it “never happens again,” I don’t think that’s something anyone can promise. A lot depends on your setup and the programs running on your system. If the same conditions repeat, it’s possible the same issue could come up again.
