Locking of profiles in brave

when will you guys planning to bring the feature of locking profile? Please bring it.it will be very very useful.

Hi, Welcome to the Community!

Might I share that this is more of a Feature Request rather then a Support Request.

If you edit your original post (using the little pencil at the bottom of it) and change the Category to ā€œBrave Feature Requests > Desktop Requestsā€

I’d be happy to add my vote to it (and don’t forget to add your own vote, it doesn’t add it automatically) it sounds like a great Feature Request!

I’m glad you got it updated, already added my vote!

I think being able to Password and/or PIN or maybe even Biometric Protect Profiles would be amazing!
Maybe include a time-out feature as well, if not active LOCK Brave after 1-5 minutes, up to 1 hour, or as the user decides.

Not surprisingly it’s not an original idea… though you had it before me, so kudos:

Though I suppose this is different from
Brave’s Password Manager Lock
VS.
Brave’s Profile Lock
:thinking:

I think,they are not actively working on it.

The response you shared from them is from 2020.its been a long timešŸ™.

Yeah, I don’t want to bug him/you too much @Mattches but do you mind maybe bumping this and/or adding this feature request to GitHub for your/the Brave team?

I do believe that having Profiles password protected (again either regular, PIN or biometric) is different from the Master Password for the Password Manager, but I do recognize they are the same sort of request and the Master Password is probably more of a priority and has the same challenges as the Profile protection that is being requested now.

Can you add that request please.I am not on github.

Sorry I wasn’t clear with how I put that, I mean I tagged a Brave employee and asked to escalate it, so no worries on your part :wink:
