Hello every one , **1.** After i using one of registry cleaning apps on windows 7 **Brave** didn’t work at all ! so how to export my bookmarks and sites’s passwords which stored in **Brave**? FYI i did the update before 2 days . **2.** every time i do the updating i have to use the external download application , it couldn’t update it directly from the browser itself !! **3.** please provide an offline Brave installation file link in the download page , i think many many users ( like me ) sometimes they download the update installation file from another PC . thanks … ---

Ok. i succeed to do my request, just copy this folder **Default** : C:\Users\Windows\_User\_Name\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\User Data\Default and keep it in safe in temporary folder then re-install Brave from the control panel and install it again finally copy the folder **Default** to the same above path and that’s it . hopefully it helping someone in future . 😇 ---

Glad you found a solution! In the future, backing up and exporting/importing bookmarks, passwords, and settings is going to be a lot easier. 🙂 ---

Go to brave://settings/importData and select “Bookmarks HTML File” from the dropdown menu. You should be able to import the HTML file with your exported bookmarks. ---

Hey, sorry for the misunderstanding! To enable password import, you’ll need to go to `brave://flags` and enable “Password Import” from the drop down menu on the right.
