@rory-aurous Fixed- I had Settings> Privacy and Security> Cookies and other site data> Clear Cookies and site data When you quit Opera ON so I turned it OFF. One of the extensions fault. also deleted that extension.
@sgunhouse Yes thank you, I checked the cookie settings and for some reason throw away option was on. I'm assuming it's some ad-blocker extension's fault. all good now!
@filipgfx Now, if you are referring to a passphrase, you can't recover it. You will need to reset it so that you can set up a new one, but it will erase your synced data from the servers.
