Cookies, passwords and settings not saved across computers

[webgoto]

Behaviour

Steps to reproduce this issue

1.Log in to any site.
2.Starting Brave on Another PC from USB.

Expected behaviour

Be logged in.

Actual behaviour

Not logged in.

Configuration

**App release ** : update from 0.68.142-34 to 0.69.132-35

**Operating system ** :Windows 10 home 64bit ver.1903

---

I think the cookies are probably initialized.

It is the same symptom even if I update to 0.69.135-36.

However, even if I use the 0.68.142-34 version, the same symptoms are occurring now, so it may be because of my environment.

It used to work fine.

Thanks.

Hi @webgoto, yes looks like there is a regression somewhere. Will take a look, keep you in touch!

@webgoto Ok after digging it's an issue on Brave between 0.68.131 and 0.68.142

[webgoto]

I misunderstood the version I was using.
Thank you.

I confirm this issue occurs starting 0.68.138 release (Chromium 76.0.3809.132 to Chromium 77.0.3865.75)

• Update patches from Chromium 76.0.3809.132 to Chromium 77.0.3865.75 (uplift to 0.68.x) brave/brave-core#3385
• Upgrade from Chromium 76.0.3809.132 to Chromium 77.0.3865.75 (uplift to 0.68.x) brave/brave-browser#5943

Is it difficult to solve this problem?

I think the solution to keep cookies and passwords , is romeving these args ( --disable-machine-id --disable-encryption-win) from the runner of the .exe , cuz of brave need machine id to make every time a new fingerprint with the machine id, so we don't need to disable it , also for disable-encryption-win the same ,alse gmail, hotmail .... needs all hardware information to encrypt cookies , you can read more about this

the best solution for this, is moving the DPAPI token from the old machine to the new one by using mimikaz

@Jamaldinromi Can you describe the suggested workflow? The link above seems to deal with data unprotection only.
