If Brave is closed down for a while and then reopened I have to log back into all my websites. How do I stay logged in? Description of the issue: Can’t stay logged in after shutting Brave down. I’m on a Linux Mint laptop and am using Version 1.58.127 Chromium: 117.0.5938.88 (Official Build) (64-b…

@thusband can you check at brave://settings/clearBrowserData and see if you have anything checked off for On Exit? [image]

Ah yes, everything has been checked. I guess that explains it. What would be the minimum I’d need to keep sites open? Thanks for the help! edit: I’ve unchecked all the boxes, logged into a few sites and then closed Brave and my Linux Mint laptop. When I open everything back up I still have to log …

@thusband I just want to confirm something. When you looked at the boxes, did you make sure to change tabs? I only ask because I had someone in the past who looked only at the Basic tab which is what opens by default, they didn’t notice they had to click on On Exit to switch to that and then check. …

Yes, thanks, I used the exit tab and unchecked everything. I logged into one site and then closed Brave. When I opened it again I had to log back in. The first four items in the advanced tab are checked, everything else in all other tabs is unchecked.

@thusband ok, so the next thing that would be checking is your extensions. The simplest way to test this would be to create a new browser profile for testing. Go to Hamburger Menu [image] → Add new profile → Name it whatever you want and hit Done Once this is created, don’t install any extensions …

OK, thanks again. That will be a little time consuming since all my passwords are in Bitwarden on the other profile or in Chrome. Maybe I’ll try just shutting all extensions off (not uninstalling) and one by one turn them back on to see if there’s a problem. There’re only a half dozen. Creating the…

@thusband might have also been good to try to install them one by one on the second profile and see when it changes. But for it to only occur on one profile, it definitely is a sign that there’s a setting or extension causing your issue. I’ll tag @Mattches to see if he might have any other guesses,…

Thanks all. I really appreciate your efforts.

Maybe it’s resolved? I turned off, “Clear cookies and site data when you close all windows” and sites seem to stay open now. It hasn’t been overnight yet but it’s progress.

I’m still inclined to think it is an extension issue — especially if you tested this in a new profile and were not able to reproduce. Going to see if we have any open issues for this or if it’s being discussed internally or not.
