Browser removed all my email accounts and saved passwords


Description of the issue: Logged in this morning and all my email accounts in google were gone, google default search engine was replaced with Brave, all my saved passwords are gone. Search history is still nothing is autofilling. it’s like a fresh browser. How do I get my stuff back?

How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Open brave browser

Expected result: nothing autofills

Brave Version( check About Brave): 1.90.122

Additional Information: help

Probably, Brave Browser did some kind of a reset. See:

Brave Password Manager is empty after Brave crashed, but the Login Data SQLite database still contains saved login rows - #5 by 289wk

do you know how I can get my stuff back? I never messed with Brave settings, so now I’m wondering what to do exactly

Unfortunately, probably not … but you need to go to the link I provided, and start learning, studying. AND, at that link, you might get lucky - because, like it says THERE, SOMETIMES

A major lesson for all computer users: Be prepared, with backup routines. Have recovery plans.

Strongly recommended: Two, not one, password management systems. Examples of “the other password manager”:

  • 1Password
  • BitWarden

Appreciate the tips. thanks a bunch!
