Brave does not save my login info

Description of the issue:
when I close brave or shut down my computer there is a chance that brave will not save any of my login info so I have to enter my email and password again every 2~3 days.
I made sure that I don’t have any of the delete browsing data on exit checkbox are enabled
How can this issue be reproduced?

1.open brave browser
2.close it / shutdown your computer
3.reopen brave

Expected result:
all my login info should be saved so I don’t have to reenter my email and password again for every website that I need to use

Brave Version( check About Brave):
1.79.199

Additional Information:
I’ve been using the windows version for a while and I didn’t have this issue in there but I’m not sure about mac/android

I think I found a solution for this when I installed brave first I used curl -fsS https://dl.brave.com/install.sh | sh so I uninstalled it and reinstalled it again using sudo apt install brave-browser ,it has been a few days now and I didn’t have any problems but I’m still not sure if this is the solution I’ll wait a few more days

yes it was indeed the solution

It was not the solution :smiling_face_with_tear: it worked for almost 2 weeks but for some strange reason it came back

I have the same issue but with only few sites, for example - Spotify web. I’ve tried everything but still no solution

I found it finally it’s a bug in the browser and I found out how to trigger it

  1. open/reboot your desktop
  2. press any link before opening brave for the first time
  3. brave for some reason will delete all you’re login info
    note : brave will not delete anything if you open brave before opening any link

it’s in the apt version of brave

I hope this gets fixed soon

@Mattches and @steeven wanted to see if you can look into this and if can replicate.

Can you clarify what you mean when you say “press any link”?

for example when I open discord and I open a YouTube link from a message it logs me out of everything even the things that are not related

So you’re saying that if you’re in Brave and you login to some sites and continue browsing, everything is fine and you stay logged in without any issues but when you click on any link anywhere you’re suddenly logged out?

Does this happen with links in the browser or only from other apps? Does this happen when the browser is closed?

only links outside of brave and it happens when brave is opened or closed

That is definitely very strange. I’m curious if you have any extensions installed at this time and maybe one of them is causing the behavior but that would be a very strange effect for an extension to have.

Can you confirm that you don’t have any browsing data set to be cleared “on exit” in brave://settings/clearBrowserData --> On exit?

no I don’t have data set to be cleared on exit
and this is a screenshot of the extensions I have
