All of my saved passwords are gone, what can I do?

@scotsscripts ,

The steps that I suggest, re be prepared (for the next occasion), are among two of my previous replies:

On a Mac, the BraveSoftware folder is located (all three path examples lead to the same location):

~/Library/Application Support/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Default/

$HOME/Library/Application Support/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Default/

/Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Default/

Linux:

~/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Default/

/home/[username]/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Default/

Do not rename the folder that is named “Default”. During original installation, that (“Default”) is the name of the folder for Profile 1.
