I had the same issue. It was resolved by using PIN input instead of fingerprint recognition.
I have the same problem on one device but not the other.
using pin input didn’t work for me
Same here.
Pin not resolve on Xiaomi phone.
Password still non syncing.
Release Is the same between smartphone and PC:
v. 1.70.126 chrominum 129.0.6668.100
(Official build)
I Hope a fix soon.
That works. Thank you.
I’ve tried using the PIN and didn’t work. Xiaomi Poco F3
Not working for me on Pixel 7 using fingerprint or pattern.
They’re working on diagnosing the issue. See https://github.com/brave/brave-core/pull/26657
Hi all, this is still not fixed?
Superlol, it’s 4 months for basic feature…
Any news on the ETA?
So still been in the works. As already mentioned before, Github is https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/36190
So hopefully fix will be landing for everyone in the next week or two, give or take.
I am having the same issue.
I already had this problem when, about 7 or 8 months ago, I had to reset my phone back to factory settings. Some folk recommended doing an Uninstall/ Reinstall of Brave so I thought this total clean would solve it.
That didn’t fix it either, and I was even worse off because I lost the ones that my phone had.
PHONE: Oppo Find 5x Lite
OS: Latest Android (Always)
SYNC WITH: Samsung S6 Tablet, inc latest Android & Brave Browser and all updates
Was facing same problem on Motorola phone.
Found the following workaround:
- On old phone with passwords you want to sync to new phone, go to Password Manager, Export passwords (csv file with your passwords).
- On a computer with Brave for desktop installed, go to Settings > Password Manager > Import passwords file.
- On computer, on Brave > Settings > Sync, create new sync chain with QR code, and scan this code with your new phone.
- On computer, on Brave > Settings > Sync, check the “Passwords” box (works on desktop)
- Now you’ll be able to do the same on your new phone, and passwords will be synced.
The issue should be fixed when this is merged.
Looks like everything’s been approved and should be merging over. I guess just look for a browser update. Using 1.73.100 or newer should have the fix.
It may still take a little bit of time for it to show up in Google Play for everybody but they’re at least pushing it out it seems. So just keep an eye out for the update
And it would be nice to get confirmation once that is pushed out of whether this resolves for everybody
It looks like the latest update has fixed the issue on my Android device, but the issue is still occurring for my Chromebook. I’ve checked the Brave version and it using the latest version that was published 3 days ago.
Is there a way that I can flag that this issue still appears to be occurring for Chromebook devices?
I was eagerly waiting for the fix, as I’m moving from old phone to new phone right now. On the old phone (Samsung S9) I had the issue discussed here of not being able to enable the Password category of the sync.
With new version .101 from Google Play Store, that issue was solved.
I have however encountered other severe issues with Password Sync (some things not syncing; some things getting deleted…). In order to not go offtopic in this thread, I created a new one for my findings.
Thank you Saoiray,
I confirm it is working now for me on Windows & Android phone, thank you to the team which I am sure has many coinflicting priorities.
Now maybe you want to rethink the forcing of a pin or biometrics just to synch passwords (I see complaints about this feature keep popping up in the board)?
ThanK You!
Some new developments on GitHub…
