How do I use the built-in password manager? Follow
When you enter new login information on a website, Brave may ask if you want to save that login for the next time you visit that site.
In the pop-up window you can:
- Edit the username and password for the site. By default, these values will be pre-filled with the login data initially entered.
- Click the “Show” icon to see the password field:
- Select
Save
to save the login information or
SelectNever
to signal Brave to stop asking you to save login information for this site.
Once your information is saved you can have Brave fill the login forms on that site automatically and sign you in. Simply click in the Username field on the site and select the appropriate Username for the site you’re on.
