Are the passwords stored encrypted ? If so where are the encryption keys stored ?
Description of the issue:
How can this issue be reproduced?
Expected result:
Brave Version( check About Brave):
Additional Information:
It’s located at ~/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Default/Login Data.
It’s encrypted however. If you desire an unencrypted version you can Export passwords in the Password Manager, and then going to Settings on the left there.
As for the keys, it’s encrypted by your DE’s keyring. (I don’t know which DE you are using so I can’t tell you which one.)
If it is important to you that the Brave browser files are stored in an specific location you then using the SPB template system it is possible to store data in an arbitrary location which you select.
It may also be possible to just symlink your profile to another location
You could even consider a LUKS encrypted file system for the home director or just for that location?
Also if you start Brave from the command line then it is also possible to set the data storage location. That is exactly how SPB works and if you do not need all the other bells and whistles provide then that may be the best approach.
