Fix the Local Storage Access in Chrome, Brave, and Firefox

There are various reasons why the browser extension for Chrome, Brave, and Firefox may not be able to access the local storage. When this happens, you’ll see an error when you try to send or receive encrypted emails.

The first thing to do is your browser’s cookie settings. Try setting a less restrictive cookie policy for a short period of time.

If that doesn’t help, please create a fresh browser profile. You can do that in all the browsers where FlowCrypt is available, such as Chrome, Brave, and Firefox. These browsers support multiple separate profiles with separate extensions and settings. On the new profile, install FlowCrypt and check if the problem persists. If it starts working, compare the settings between the fresh browser profile and your regular profile to identify any differences. Once you determine the cause of the issue, please inform us at human@flowcrypt.com so that we can compile a list of common browser settings issues.
