Brave launches Brave Accounts with OPAQUE password protocol

August 27, 2026

Brave Accounts is a new way to sign into Brave services such as Email Aliases. Built on the OPAQUE cryptographic protocol, it ensures passwords never leave the user's device — they are neither encrypted nor hashed for transport, and are never sent to Brave's servers at all.
