Brave Software › Brave › Password manager
Configure the list of domains for which the Password Manager (Save and Fill) will be disabled
Supported on Microsoft Windows 7 or later
What it does
Configure the list of domains where Brave should disable the Password Manager. This means that Save and Fill workflows will be disabled, ensuring that passwords for those websites can't be saved or auto filled into web forms. If a domain is present in the list, the Password Manager will be disabled for it. If a domain is not present in the list, the Password Manager will be available for it. If the policy is unset, the Password Manager will be available for all domains. For detailed information on valid URL patterns, please see https://support.google.com/chrome/a?p=url_blocklist_filter_format. Example value: example.com login.example.com
