    Appreciate the reply Monika.

    Brave and Chrome both are based on Chromium - I wonder if it is a Chromium bug however I don't see reports of it.

    Please run MB free - let us remove our doubt of malware as well.

    Let me know if it finds anything.

    But this is also the case from chrome.
    Is this something suspicious?

    What is acttually happening, if its accessing credential manager it shouldn't be triggering million of logs for this event right?

    Hi Monika,

    I'm Sumit, here to answer your query at the Microsoft Community.

    Apologies for any inconvenience you are experiencing. I am happy to help you today.

    The logs indicate that Brave is attempting to access the credentials stored in your Windows credential manager. Generally, this is not a cause for concern. Typically, developers design the code to avoid logging such events. However, since software developers are human, it's possible for their code to contain bugs.

    You can ask Brave support to let them know so that a fix can be included in the upcoming release. I hope this makes sense and helps you. Have a great day!
