@himanshu007 first off, you put this in the wrong category. You marked this as Help Center and Resources > Account Deletion Requests which means you want to delete your Brave Community account.
Secondly, it is ALWAYS helpful and basically necessary to provide relevant information like which specific OS you’re using, as well as which version of Brave you’re on. Any extra details about what happened before and after the issue also can be helpful.
All of that said:
There are multiple reasons why passwords can disappear. Some of it might be the more simple ideas of you clearing the passwords when deleting browsing data or via third party cleaning programs like CCleaner.
If not that, it could always be that you’re in a new user profile and they exist if you just go back to the other.
But let’s assume you know better and none of that is at play. Then it could be that you changed your password, overrode admin thing, or had something occur which would have corrupted or lost your encryption key used by your OS. You can read a little bit about this at https://support.brave.app/hc/en-us/articles/29808985123085-Sensitive-data-storage
In almost any situation, if the passwords are gone then they are gone. There’s no real way to bring them back because of how they get stored and encrypted.
@himanshu007 Did you clear your browsing history, cookies and other data?
In most cases this is the primary reason of loosing stored login and passwords. I think in such scenario, lost data cannot be recovered.
no i have not done anything like that
i am using windows and i am currently using brave version
i really am fed up of these things i didnt do anything still my passwords are gone you know 32 passwords 4 of them were of really important crypto thing if they are messed up i am at loss of lakhs but still no response from brave members. are you thinkin that users are just toys and all or what. if a user doesn’t understand computer much how will he understand these craps you say.
