Summary

Configuring gopass-jsonapi for Brave on Windows is not working, but it works using the Chromium configuration.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Install gopass using scoop.
2. Install gopass-jsonapi using scoop.
3. Add the Gopass Bridge extension to Brave.
4. Run gopass-jsonapi configure and select Brave as the browser.

Expected Behavior

The configuration for Brave should work with the Brave browser.

Environment

• OS Name: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro
• OS Version: 10.0.22631 N/A Build 22631
• Brave Version: 1.70.117 Chromium: 129.0.6668.59 (Official Build) (64-bit)
• gopass Version: 1.15.14 go1.22.5
• gopass-jsonapi Version: 1.15.13
• Installation method: scoop
• Gopass Bridge Version: 0.9.0

Additional Context

We are using a different registry path for brave on Windows, but I have no idea if that's correct. This is way out of my home turf, I'm neither using Windows nor Brave.

This will need help from someone that's more familiar with those.

Exactly, the registry path where Brave Browser searches for NativeMessagingHosts on Windows is:

With a local install for the NativeMessagingHosts

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Chrome\NativeMessagingHosts\com.justwatch.gopass
