I can't post to chat with this account.

Ah. Yep. Chat requires being a more established account now. It's to prevent attackers coming in with fresh accounts and just sliding it. I'll have you back in your old account soon enough.

And I just had a thought of a different way to do it. Do you want me to copy your password factors from this account to the other? Then you can just use the same password you used for this one.

How does a YouTube crash make you lose all your passwords what do you even mean by it?

It is a bug in Brave because they encrypt the password list, there might have been an update while I was on YouTube and it crashed and I had to kill the browser.

I may be able to help. Check your pms some time tomorrow. Odd question, have you tried restarting your computer? It could be that on your most recent launch of brave the keyring didn't unlock.

I restarted the computer. Same thing. I can save passwords to it, but I can't access original passwords on it. https://community.brave.app/t/suddenly-lost-all-my-saved-passwords-from-brave-but-did-nothing/633144 person got the same results.
