Brave removed all my passwords with no reason

[hanschristian]

Thanks I have a Proton Pass backup. But Brave just removed ALL my passwords a few minutes ago. Few minutes before I was using my passwords manager in Brave as usual, but suddenly all of them are gone.

Magic!

Does someone experiencing this issue?

Version 1.62.162 Chromium: 121.0.6167.164 (Official Build) (x86_64)

Maybe the bug is related to some update which makes that option selected by default. I’m sure I didn’t selected that.

Thank you!
